Fly fishing comp - robdog - 08-05-2006
Who would be interested in a social get together/ comp where we only use fly tackle for bass?

Wish i could attend...it can be quite tactical if you think about it...imagine catching a 3 kg bass on a fly and fighting with it for at least 2-3 minutes.
heeeeee,haaaaa adrenalin rush dude!

I?m still learning to master my bait caster so I will pass on the fly fishing for now and looking like a traffic cop? getting into fly fishing does sound appealing and there would be another whole ton of crap I could buy? Mmmmm.

Howzit Mr Robdog, I would love it!! I cath a lot of bass on fly when I visit the private spot in Nelspriut, there's nothing better than taking a decent bass on a little popper and a 5wt flyrod

And flyfishing tackle is easier to sneak in as it is normally small, even fit in your pocket :lol:

Right on Ollie, a bass on a 5wt is a good battle!

I would only use a 5 in a stream. A 7wt is more suited to dams and to me.

Rob a 1 to 1.5kg bass on a 5wt is a test of skill and good fun, and on a barbless hook, no real danger to the fish.

What a good idea, it is just a pity that I am living so far away. Maybe when we are in SA again, it will be worth getting in touch with you to organise something like this.

Kuipie, look me up and we will do it!

i went with a guy to a new private venue.he caught 7 fish while i only had 2.fly fishing pays off big time.you dont scare the fish.

Why don't you take a "business trip" and join us GT40?
- pomerob - 08-07-2006
Would this be bank or boat Rob, Abit dangerous with 2 people flipping fly rods on a boat deck? Sounds like ear fishing to me :lol:
- kuipie - 08-07-2006
thanks robdog, i will definately let you know when i have got 'business' out that way.
- pomerob - 08-07-2006
R u from SA Kuipie, maybe you could bring some of those pike flies
