So far this year, on the vaal, I have fished a two fly rig with a black #14 PTN and either a tan GRHE or San Juan Worm on the a dropper - to date all fish have been taken on the PTN so i guess thats my favourite

Mostly yes, unless I get lazy and have to buy the day before a trip

So why didn't you change the GRHE and San Juan if it did not produce any fish???
