    Welcome to the site Wacky, hope you have a great time casting the fly.

    Don't go out this weekend and buy yourself a cheap starter kit!!! I'm sure the Jhb guys will take you along on a trippie and let you fish with an extra rod etc. Those cheapy kits with the really bad lines are made to frustrate you and as soon as you get the hang of things and know what you want to buy, go out and buy something better, not necesarily more expensive. Hope this helps to get started.

    What ever you do never confuse Fishing With catching Fish !!!!

    But your reasoning has a fatal flaw; it overlooks the fact that to comprehend it requires that one rub a few brain cells against each other. The heat thus generated produces the light that illuminates the fact, but alas, not everybody has the resource required to fuel the process --SG

    Terence, firstly welcome to the forums and site.

    Secondly, the search function on the Main Forum toolbar will leave you reading for around 3 months.

    Lastly, which species of freshwater fish are you looking to target ?

    If it's trout, being winter and all, I would PM, Michael, Byron, Rory, Tye 2, SchlossD1, Troutmaster, Flybum, etc, etc.

    If it's Yellows, either SM or LM, in winter, then beg , via PM the following;
    Yellowfever, Scythe, Gerrit, Troutmaster, Michael, Shamwari, etc.

    If it's a very social day with fishing, PM ; Chris Williams, Schlossie, SA Gixer, Rory or myself.

    BTW, we are planning a drift in 2 weeks time (1st Aug.) If you are interested PM me.
    It's not in the catching, it's in the learning something new.

    I will second Herman's reply, excluding the TroutMaster part for Trout in winter; once you have hooked and landed a LM (LargeMouth Yellowfish) then there is NO REASON to go after those dog-food fed fishies ... [just a joke about the dog food - although Diddle Daddle Popcorn is a completely different story].

    Unfortunately I am getting to the water less and less with family / kids responsibilities and this weekend's LM trip is PRIVATE ... location H!

    Do yourself a favour and contact Frontier Fly Fishing (FFF), Laxtons and/or Fly Fishers Unlimited (FFU) - they always advertise their "Join us for a day at the Vaal" trips - I do not think you have to pay guide fees necessarily.

    If you do want a guide to go through a fast learning curve, I can recommend Ian Couryer [nice quiet guy that knows his stuff] as well as Gary Glen Young (GGY on forum) [engineer, very technical, talks a lot - like most of us engineers do ].

    PS: The drift with the guys will be a great outing ... I am trying to organize 'pass' for that one.

    This is only for those who wish to meet, laugh with, DRINK WITH, swim with, and "possibly" share secrets with, the degenorites (sp) of the Vaal f/f.
