FISHING

Fly-fishing for Carp

I have caught many Carp on fly, mostly with Woolly Buggers I prefer black/red or black/yellow, brown or white I also use Walker Mayfly nymphs or DDD dry flies for when they surface feeding nicely. Sizes roughly from 10 to 4, using a bead head. River Carp are dam strong, they gym in the river all day, they are such a pleasure to catch and when you into a school things get real exiting. I have also caught many bass on a black/red Woolly bugger, a very good fly indeed.

(My cuz in the photo was fishing with boilies that day, banana flavour)

I wish I stayed in the states, so many natural fishing spots, so many natural american woman who will probably also complain when they become fishing widow’s

Oh you are laying temptation in my way, pmbguy
I have to say it's been an age since I last stretched a line.

To think years ago this was my screen background:



A snap I took at one of my happy places - The Bend. Just perfect for fly fishing!

Oh boy. So many things to do, so little time.

Where is that photo taken Dave? it looks like underberg, swartberg or kokstad to me. I can just see the shock wave of a 6pounder brownie turning on the fly. I have an "emergency" bass/mix kit I keep under my car seat along with a telescopic rod, Just encase you know, but I must admit that I don't fish anywhere near as much as I should be, I can’t just stay out the whole weekend by the water anymore like I could a few years ago. I have to be content cleaning and sorting my gear dammit

I don't know why but often woman seem to have special luck, my wife often hooks a monster out of the blue right in front of me, she has no apparent skill, but yet she catches all the time. When she joins me fishing I seem to be more successful as well, I think it may be the pheromones or something

Go have a look at some of these big record Bass USA/Japan/SA. Many are not official, but wow!

Hey I would gladly part with my pinkie toe for a 20 pounder

Fishing is a very fulfilling activity. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been on a fishing trip. It’s about 14 years ago!

I think we as men need to realise that the fairer sex can carry out all the activities that men engage in and sometimes even better than men..
