His latest mission to Doornkop with the new Origin II in Midnight Blue was one for the books. 💥  A brute of a rainbow smashed his fly and gave the new setup a proper workout! Just look at those shoulders—an absolute tank! 🐟💪  Trout action is firing in Dullstroom and the surrounding waters, with the winter spawn just around the corner. If you’re heading out, don’t forget to pack some orange patterns—they’ll be key over the next few weeks as priorities shift. 🎣🧡  #ReelFlyFishing #OriginII #FlyFishingSA #DullstroomFishing #WinterSpawn #TroutSeason #FlyFishingLife
- M I D - W E E K - Quick Session at Kloofzicht - M I D - W E E K -  Quick Session at Kloofzicht – Gear Testing & Trout Lessons  Headed out to Kloofzicht today for a spontaneous session—partly to get some fishing in, but mainly to match up fly lines with rods to fine-tune performance and give our clients the best possible guidance.  I spent the day testing a variety of techniques on some seriously well-fed trout. The sheer amount of natural food drifting by on the breeze was incredible. I even managed to snap a pic of a lovely little hatch that popped off in the far-left corner of the dam.  Kloofzicht is never an easy venue, and today was a reminder of that. But it also reinforced a valuable lesson: when the fishing is good, enjoy every moment—because the next session might tell a very different story. Four trout on, two cheeky bass, and a couple of solid shots at some hefty old carp made for a pretty decent day. Certainly beats being stuck behind a desk!  The abundance of food in the water definitely made the trout hesitant—most of the takes were subtle, half-hearted grabs rather than full-on commits.  It did, however, give me plenty of casting practice. Our latest All Out Streamer fly lines were an absolute dream—smooth, effortless casting whether floating or sink-tip. I paired the 5wt Apex Graphene fly rod with the All Out Streamer WF5F today, and the combo handled multiple flies with ease. A real pleasure on a fast-action rod.  Also appreciated the bonus sightings of zebra, impala, and a few surprisingly friendly warthogs.  I’ll definitely be back soon.

T H E S E - A R E - Y O U R - B U D D I E S Looki T H E S E - A R E - Y O U R - B U D D I E S  Looking for a new pal to take along side your other buddies, well, the Origin is that friend that never lets you down. Dependable, sturdy and makes you look good no matter the occasion. Why not be a buddy and grab yourself another pal 😉  We just launched the updated Origin II aka the 2.5 with some new exciting colours, updated aesthetics and a couple hardware changes to the frames and spools.  Your Origin II 3/4/5 and 5/6/7 spools and frames are interchangeable with the updated designs so no need to stress 👌  Just a couple recent setups we sent out but we sure have missed a lot , reels are “flying” so get those fingers clicking as every fly fishing buddy could do with another pal, ey?  Designed and developed in RSA - loved all over.  #reelflyfishingza #flyfishing #flyfishingsouthafrica #flyreels #designedinsouthafrica #flyfishinglife
O R I G I N I I The Origin II has been my go-to O R I G I N  I I  The Origin II has been my go-to fly reel since we first launched it—a real workhorse that’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it. When we designed this reel, adaptability was key. With interchangeable spools, all you need is a couple of extras and the right attitude.  I fished the Origin II 567 exclusively on our last trip through the Orange River and down the Garden Route. This time I had a 7wt line loaded, but with a quick spool swap to the Euro nymphing setup, we were back in business.  Freshwater? Absolutely. Saltwater? Why not.  I wanted to shine a light on just how versatile this reel is—especially as we’ve spent most of 2024 giving the entire Origin II range a serious facelift. Let’s call it Origin II.5.  Launching later this month, the updated model takes everything you loved and dials it up: tighter refinements, sharper aesthetics, same trusted performance. And yes—spools and frames are still fully interchangeable, so whether you’re upgrading or joining the Origin family, you’re covered.  I’ll be dropping some detailed videos and guides soon comparing the new version with the original. But for now, consider this your friendly neighborhood update from the fly fishing crew.
- A C T I O N - Always an excellent day out on t - A C T I O N -  Always an excellent day out on the Knysna system when you see the spring tides pushing and water almost glassy! Headed out with my dad to our usual sneaky spots to see if there were some Garrick/Leeries around and to our surprise there were some really decent fish on the go!  A quick session and 2 really nice fish and as usual a couple of rats n mice, they keep you busy and really go ballistic as soon as your fly hits the water.
Patterns for the day that worked exceptionally well were the pink Clouser and Gnarly head popped that @flyzinc ties for us.  Watching these beautiful fish chase your fly is sensational, shouldering each other out the way to see who gets the price is the cherry on the top!
If you are down in the Garden Route and Knysna, perhaps chasing Grunts, take a little bit of time and focus on the Leeries/Garrick as they are the true “gentlemen” of the ocean. Just handle them well and let them fight another day.  Gear:
Fly rod - New graphene 9’ 7wt (upcoming)
Fly reel - Origin II 5.6.7wt
Backing - 250m RFF gel spun backing
Fly line - Airflo 40+ extreme WF7F (absolutely brilliant line) 
Leader - RFF salty leader
Tippet - RFF unreel copolymer
Flies - a selection of expertly tied patterns from @flyzinc  Looking forward to chasing more of these later in the year!  #reelflyfishingza #flyfishingsouthafrica #knysna #knysnaflyfishing #westerncape #catchandrealease

Was lucky enough to spend a night both on my way down to Knysna and on the way up at @tzamenkomstlodge and boy was I treated to some special moments.  Just a little highlight of one of the lovely Smallies that engulfed a black MSP fished on our upcoming 9’ 7wt graphene fly rod! Incredible how you never know what you will get stuck into while casting and searching for Largies.  The new rod is an absolute machine and ended up being the only rod I used the whole trip, paired with a floating 40+ from @airflofishing means huge casts with ease even in the wind, with a popper or heavy Largie fly.  Cant wait to make @tzamenkomstlodge a regular stop over on the way down to the coast, what a great way to spend an afternoon and the food, accommodation and staff are truly special.  #flyfishing #reelflyfishingza #flyfishingsouthafrica #flyrod #flyreels #flyreels #yellowfishonfly #southafrica #ornageriverflyfishing

I don’t think it can get much better than sitting, watching one of the big five with a fly rod at the ready. Seems even in Africa you have to wait your turn before you can go chase some Tigers!  Keith has found a very special way to target the Tigers on his doorstep and working with him to get the perfect setup and flies has been an absolute joy. Now we wait for one of the big mamas to make their way up the river 😉  Looking for set yourself up with some decent fly gear that’s thoughtfully designed for South African conditions? - drop us a message and we will get you rocking !  Looking forward to all the exciting new developments for 2025.

The ingredients for the perfect fresh water fly reel, we most certainly think so! 😉  If you are thinking about a your next fly reel that looks the part, while acting the part weather it be on a lake in the midlands, a river in the cape mountains or tackling the mighty Orange River then let the SWING do the heavy lifting for you, so that you can focus on making memories!

O N E - T O - R E M E M B E R Spent this past Sat O N E - T O - R E M E M B E R  Spent this past Saturday with @jonomuller85 and the gents to celebrate a very special birthday! Nothing beats quality time on the water with some quality fishing all round. An absolute treat to fish with like minded guys on the mighty Vaal River!  Fish were a bit scarce to start with but once we honed in on them it was tight lines and smiles all round! Such a great day that I think Jono may need to celebrate another birthday this year 🤣  While the Vaal certainly has had its ups and downs this season things seem to slowly be returning to normal with decent flows, reasonable clarity and some nice big fish to be found in the pockets.  Top flies for the day proved to be :
Silver beaded blowtorch style jig nymph
Electric purple hairs ear style jig nymph
PTN as always
Copper and silver cdc jig nymphs in brown and black with green flash  The fish certainly went to go sit deep and in the shade after 3pm and between 12-2:30 we’re in the slightly deeper runs and pockets very thick making for excellent sessions.  The new Nymphing rod prototype is now off to Rhodes for some small stream testing and feedback ahead of imminent production. Cannot wait for this one #graphene power !  Cant wait to hit the water again soon!
- S U N N Y - D A Y S - & - S M I L E S An absolu - S U N N Y - D A Y S - & - S M I L E S  An absolute treat to spend another day out on the water on the Vaal, doing what we love best! Two absolutely beautiful specimens that really made it for me, a lovely 3.5kg Yellow and a tank of a Muddy.  What a wonderful way to finish off my side of the testing for our new Nymphing rod, keeps blowing me away with its potential and sensitivity. Going into production shortly!  The Vaal River has recovered so quickly after the heavy rains and with the flows around the 22cbm/s it’s almost perfect, fish are a little more particular as to where they are sitting but once you find them it’s on!  Should be a wonderful next couple of weeks so be sure to get out there!  Was privileged to spend the day with @jonomuller85 and the boys, to celebrate one hell of a special birthday! Looking forward to sharing some of these special moments soon! 👌  #reelflyfishingza #vaalriver #flyfishing #flyfishingsouthafrica #catchandrelease #flyfishingaddict
