Hi all.
I'm using this thread because I had an unusual fishing experience at Elandskloof Trout Farm last week. I'm not new to the venue (have been there about 5 times since 2010)
I went fishing for 4 days and couldn't land a single trout. The first few days I didn't see any trout except for a few jumping early morning and late afternoon, but no serious activity as is usual during that time of day. The staff at Mavungana told me that fishing have been difficult over the weekend at other venues as well. They also suggested a few other flies and tips I haven't tried during the first 2 days, but to no avail.
During the last 2 days activity picked up a bit and I had one proper bite at 09:00 on the 4th day, but lost the fish after about 2 seconds. During those two days I saw a group of 5 to 6 fish swimming in a tight circle from sunrise to sunset for the remainder of my time spent there. They ignored everything I tried on them.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
