    Default Kubusi yellowfish???

    anyone know if the kubusi is productive for yellows on fly??
    recently got access to a stretch of this river near stutterheim, looks a bit small and shallow but i am assured by the owner that yellows are present. anyone fished the kubusi before???

    I've not fished in that area before, but I can assure you - if the river has fish in, you can catch them on fly.

    There are plenty of yellows in the Kubusie, but much of thw water is slow-flowing and not very attractive to fish. It can also be quite murky. However, I have no doubt the yellows could be caufgt on fly. There are also some nice bass to be had.

    Yeah, you'll need to assess the "situation" 1st.

    Adapt your approach to the conditions. I'm guessing a floating line with a nymph drifted in the correct place should yield some results!
