Success at Stilbaai
Hi guys
I can happily say that I had my first success at Stilbaai over the last week and a bit with leeries on fly. I did just more than a weeks fishing and got 27 leeries. I struggled to get big fish...the biggest being 50cm, but I had a great time on the water..All fish were taken on SF blend mullet in muller brown over white and slinky fibre in wild olive over shrimp...I lost a big fish close to the mouth the one morning and another big fish at the jetty close to matchbox...
Here are some pics of a few fish...
Cheers
Chris

Well done ... I thought the spots you were fishing would produce nicely.
Don't you want to elaborate on your post with a day to day if you can recall it all ... what phase of the push, etc. etc. etc.
Did you try dredging the deeper channels with a fast sinker and a big fly for Cob ?

It's not in the catching, it's in the learning something new.

Going to be fishing the exact spot in 10 days time, going to be in Stilbaai for 2 weeks so plenty of time to throw a fly!!!

From all the reports, it seems that the whole of the southern coast is fishing very well.

Hi Chris,
Very nice, I have also had some success up from the bridge 3 weeks ago. This is across from Stables where the river channel switches from the stables side to the town side.
Cheers,
Philip
