Not bass this time, but Kurper

[Knaap]

So today I went for some more action at Techno Park, Stellenbosch. Left res at 12:30 so I knew the fishing was going to be tough, although better than books and papers on material stiffness and resilient modulus.

As usual the Kurper were all along the sides of the dam not wanting to take the fly. I managed to get this picture of two males in close action.



After some time and me starting to get frustrated with myself and the fish that did not want to take any fly, I managed to hook one. Been watching the bugger sitting below a lily-pad, waiting for something to pass. So, that is what I did, popped the fly on his head and on he went. Again an amazing fight and I landed the beaut.



The bugger was relatively weak after the long fight, and it was extremely warm so I jumped into the dam to set the fish back to come haunt me some other day.

All and all I caught some small bass. Saw the 3 huge karp in the dam and also spotted a bass of around 2.6-3kg. Yes it was a monster, although it would not even look at the flies I popped at him.
