T H A T F E E L I N G . . . Why do we fly fish?, I think the bend in the rod says it all! The adrenalin is pumping, heart racing, ninja focus as you wait to see the fruits of your fight! . . My brother in law Andy has been bitten by the fly fishing bug! Now in his second season he knows exactly how to handle even the mightiest #yellowfish, keep them short, don't give them much when in the current and before you know it, they are in the net and released! He's now a seasoned regular and fellow fly fisherman at heart! . . Can't wait to hit the water again, to see what the magical #vaalriver has to offer us. It's such a special place and being so close to #jhb begs to be fished, enjoyed and #respected. . . See you guys on the water: bent fly rod in hand, a smile on the face and line slicing through the current! . . . #reelflyfishingza #flyfishing #flyfishingnation #flyfishingisrad #flyfishingonly #flyfishingnuts #flygear #itonlycountsonfly #vaalriver #vaalflyfishing #flyfishingsouthafrica #fishingtackle #flygear #flyfishingphotography #catchandrelease #flyfishingvibes #flyfishingtrip #flyreel #flyrod #localislekker #localbusiness #flyfishtheworld

How do you communicate with a fish? Drop it a line! 😜 . Spotted this Largie cruising a shallow fringe of a weed bank where a small school of fish were hiding out, trying to find some reprieve from its hungry advances. Luckily my fly presented a tastier treat, and after a quick waltz and a few wraps around the rocks, the fish was safely landed and released. . . 📸 and net assist: sloshedmoth . #largemouthyellowfish #orangeriver #flyfishing #reelflyfishingza #flyfishingadventures #flyfishingnation #flyfishingjunkie #streamerjunkie #streamerfishing #catchandrelease #reelflyfishing #catchmefishing #thecultofflyfishing #weliveit #feathersandfluoro

C H I L L I N . . . Muddies sure give it their all when hooked up and after a lengthy fight this guy decided to just take a little chill before cruising off back to the current. . Maybe he had his eye on the sexy ORIGIN fly reel 😂, either way what an absolute treat to get one of these guys in! . . . The #vaalriver is cooking up a storm of fish activity and the season is certainly underway. If you are headed out make sure you have your essentials covered - wading staff - flies - chestpack - hat - banana - sun block - polaroid sunglasses - a good tippet selection - a 9 or 10 foot rod - smooth drag fly reel - a bit of luck, and your A-game! . .

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!

T H A T M O M E N T . . . @jurgdejager64 has opened his #yellowfish account for the season! We spent the day on a beautiful section of the #vaalriver hunting for Yellows and giving the Origin Fly Reels a good run in and long term test. . . Conditions are fantastic on the Vaal at the moment, water is clear and the fish are starting to feed, water is still a little cold but it's 90% there 😊 . . . Be sure to checkout @jurgdejager64 page, as he tied some truly incredible flies! . . . If you are waiting patiently for the perfect time to head to the river, then give it maybe 3 weeks and the fishing will be on fire! . . . . This stunning #yellowfish took a small green caddis flly, weighted down with a larger point fly. Setup wise: Nymph 3.4 10' fly rod Origin Fly reel Cortland Competition line 100 yards of 20lb backing A long 12'leader Split shot And a whole lot of determination and skill 😎 . . . See you all out there on the water and I am super excited about the season ahead. . . . . #reelflyfishingza #flyfishing #flyfishingnation #flyfishingisrad #flyfishingonly #flyfishingnuts #flygear #itonlycountsonfly #vaalriver #vaalflyfishing #flyfishingsouthafrica #fishingtackle #flygear #flyfishingphotography #vaal #catchandrelease #thetugisthedrug #flyfisherman #letsgofishing #fishingtrip #fshingaddict
