My Article in TCFF South African magazine.

I decided to try  and write about our flyfishing to my favouriteSouth African magazine, http://www.completeflyfisherman.co.za/.
They replied that they are posting it in September issue.
So here it is my first article ...ever.

My first decent Largescale this season.

We were mainly catching largies this time, much less small scales.
The big one took just behind the stone in the main stream.
The star of the season now is a Jig nymph, that Murray Pedder of FFU has showed me.

Some more of Jordan river...

Now the season in on strong. Plenty bites, very strong fish, nice Sedge hatch in the evening.

Sea of Galilee (Kineret), 2011 season open

I was really trying hard to implement all my South African knowledge.
Only Streamer and nymph variation has worked.
But there is still a whole season ahead, will try some more.
But this season 2 new fly fisherman have got their first fishes...

Snir Stream (Hatzbani) and some dry fly action.

That morning I've started wading, catching some mix of small and largescale yellows on New Zealand rig, with Rhyacophilia Larva and PTN as a point fly.
Finally I got to a deep spot by the huge rock where good size fish was rising quite frequently.
First cast on a Elkhair Caddis brought me a smalscale as the fly touched the surface and no more action on that fly.
I have changed the fly to 18 or 20 size RAB, I bought in South Africa last year. At my second cast I had a very aggressive take and a my first descent largescale on dry fly is in the net, I caught some smaller ones later on.
At around 9:00 I decided it's time for coffee and breakfast, so back to the camp.
I have still a lot to learn about all around presentation of dries, there were loads of fish, but I've struggled to make them try my flies.
