Elands River 46cm Smallscale

[Jacques O Dell]

Fortuin

Hoe skoon was die water toe jy die prag vis gevang het? Ek ken so 3 riviere wat wat wemel met geles. Die viz is so 1-2m! Die vis is vrek sku en ek sukkel om hulle te vang.

Vang jy ooit in die strome? Selfde taktiek?

[Fontuin]

Die viz hier by ons is gewoonlik so .4m tot 1m. Die' vis was gevang in viz van so .5m. Daar is tye dat ek kan sight fish maar dit is n uitsondering en ek het gewoonlik min succes. Meeste visse wat ek vang sien ek nie.

Daar is visse in die strome maar hulle is gewoonlik kleiner en moeilik om te vang. Czech nymphing werk dan die beste vir my.

Dankie Fontuin.

Gary where (in Pta) can I get a net like that? And what do they cost?

[Fontuin]

As ek mag vra, waar is die reviere? Ek sal gaag op n' ander plek wil probeer om die visse te vang en sien of die selfde metodes werk?

Dankie Fontuin.

Jy moet die auctions dop hou, ek het een geadverteer vir 3 maande lank niks nadda niemand het belangestel nie,eers verlede week aan iemand verkoop. :smile: Ek weet 'n chick in JHB bring hulle van NZ in so jy sal maar moet shops bel en hoor wie dit aanhou. Jy gaan nou so R700 vir 'n nuwe een betaal.

Dankie Fontuin.

You missed out on Gerrit's auction. (I even "plugged" it for him, since it is a great net).

I think you might find @ Solly's, else Mias does stock.

Yes - they are not cheap, but have a properly accurate scale and are built to last a lifetime.

Indeed that is true.

I once lost a Mclean at GVP while nymphing ... I just turned around to grab it when I needed to net a fish and voila, the magnetic clip had somehow pulled loose and the net was gone.

I was nymphing GVP again about 4 months later and hooked onto something on the bottom, usual desnagging tehniques didn't work, so waded over and found my control fly stuck to the mesh of a net, which so happened to be my net, which I had lost there 4 months before, with the corresponding magnetic clip and carabiner I had hooked onto it and everything.

Cleaned it up, tested, works fine and aside from some smallish stains on the neck of the net, you wouldn't know it had been submitted to that kind of torture.

That is truly an amazing story! What is the chances of the same person fishing GVP twice in four months!
