Weather said nope! But the fish said yep! And in the soft rain the yellows were going slightly bananas 🙃 Sometimes a bit of bad weather can be a magical thing! Sometimes 😆 But spending the day on the water with mates, doing what you love most, is what it really is about! #tsekcorona . . . #yellowfish #flyfishing #vaalriver #euronymphing #flyfish #flyfishingnation #reelflyfishingza #catchmefishing #shiltonreels #flyfishinglifestyle #flyfishafrica

Since it looks like we’re not going to be able to wrangle with the river trout again this year, the fly boxes are already being prepped for scaly season. This is a fish from an absolutely awesome weekend last winter. . . . #flyfishing #flytying #yellowfish #natalyellowfish #scaly #natalscaly #yellowsonfly #scalysonfly #jig #7x #ginclear #euronymphing #deepandfast #kzn #flyfishkzn #hanak #xplorerflyfishing #kznffa #reelflyfishingza #trouthunter #fluorocarbon

NYAP popper. Although saltwater flies are a bit out of my comfort zone, think it came out ok. Time to see if the shad like topwater! . . . #flyfishing #flytying #popper #NYAP #shad #foam #stripset #surffishing #gamakatsuhooks #xplorerflyfishing #reelflyfishingza #surfaceflies #shadonfly #kingfish #geet #gullyfishing #KZN

C U S T O M B U I L T . . . To celebrate the launch of the completely revamped website and store we have this one of a kind 2wt | 11' Euro Nymph rod up for sale. . . . Built from the base of our trusted and proven Nymph 3.4 | 10' blank, the 2wt brings a reduction in weight, increase in sensitivity and new taper. The 11' length gives even more reach and balances beautifully with a 5.6 weight fly reel. . . We added a host of special small details to the build which include, a fully custom turned cork grip and fighting butt, alignment dots, 3 measurement points on the first section to measure catches, double down locking reel seat in 3K carbon, as well as a sighter tip in copper wraps. A full custom designed water slide graphic and the rod is like no other out there. . . . If you are looking to have a custom fly rod built let us know, or if you are looking to build your very own then we have a selection of quality components available in the store! . www.reelflyfishing.co.za . . . #reelflyfishingza #flyfishing #flyfishingnation #flyfishingisrad #flyfishingonly #flyfishingnuts #flygear #itonlycountsonfly #customflyrod #flyrod #flyrodbuilding #rodbuilding #fishingrod #flyfish #reelflyfishing #rodbuildingcomponents #buildyourownflyrod #custombuilt #customflyrod #customfishingrods

T H E C A T C H . . Shout out to Morne from the George who took up fly fishing about a year and a half ago or so. . We set him up with a trusty Burnt Orange Leviathan #flyreel and the powerful Brute #flyrod. Both are still going strong like day one! . . Just one of the many Leeries he has managed since taking up the sport and we always look forward to his latest catches. . . . . #reelflyfishingza #flyfishing #flyfishingnation #flyfishingisrad #flyfishingonly #flyfishingnuts #flygear #itonlycountsonfly #gardenroute #westerncape #fishing #fishingtripn #george #catchandrelease #thetugisthedrug #garrick #leerie #flyfish #fish #fishing #picture #flyfisherman

T E S T I N G . . We have been testing and toying new ideas for our next range of fly reels for quite some time now, this was an early prototype that contained some new hybrid cardon fibered spool and frame technology. . . We learned alot since then and have applied the feedback and adjustments to our next iteration. . . . This was also the trip that we signed off on the CastGlass range of #flyrods. . . . Looking to the future there are do many innovative and interesting carbon based and graphene based products that we will be sharing once lockdown begins to phase down. . . . #reelflyfishingza #flyfishing #flyfishingnation #flyfishingisrad #flyfishingonly #flyfishingnuts #flygear #itonlycountsonfly #flyreel #flyrod #travel #adventure #fisherman #fishing #flyfishingstreamers #flyfishingtips #fishingislife #fishingaddict #southafricafishing

S O O N . . . Lockdown has hit us all hard and will continue to do so for months to come, that being said it's not forever. Take this time to reflect on your favorite trips and destinations and plan for it, once we all get through this our favorite places will be waiting for us, and life will return to normal. . . The confluence of the Bell River and the Sterksruit in the Eastern Cape near Rhodes is the place I am most looking forward to heading back to. Losing myself in the romance of a small mountain stream!! I will be armed with a trusty split cane and my favorite Nymph rod, ready to show those rested trout a thing or two!! . . . We wanted to thank all of our customers for their loyal support these past few weeks, and we cannot wait to show you all what we have been working on. . . . Be strong, be patient and soon enough we will all be doing what we love most... Swinging a rod and watching it fly! . . #reelflyfishingza #flyfishing #flyfishingnation #flyfishingisrad #flyfishingonly #flyfishingnuts #flygear #itonlycountsonfly #rhodeseasterncape #travel #river #stream #fishing #southafrica #lockdown #getoutside #getoutthere #bridges #streams #rivers #flyfishingsouthafrica
