Fly Tying Instruction @ Oxbow

Oxbow Country Estate , One of the better fly fishing venues around the old Transvaal Murray was invited to do a fly tying demonstration / talk at Oxbow the past Saturday. He and Alison even had a chance to cast a line. Alison ( Murray’s better half) casting a line at Oxbow. In the recent past quite a few lady fly fishers took the rod up again. This was during the tying demo. Look at the expression , maybe the forceps got a bit HOT !!. Murray had about a dozen guys taking part in the demo, they tied the Pappa Roach.( check the tying instructions earlier in the blog) Some hands on tying. This is where the “disease” start. Like the say:” the proof op the pudding is in the eating”

Middle south woodburn, 7th May

looks like another term is nearly finished at Uni. Yay. In a brief break from assignments and revising Andrew and I set off to try our luck at woodburn. We started of at the Upper south, which is apparently a wild fishery and had some great craic fishing for tiny trout. I eventually caught a little scrapper on an F fly. After spending too much time fishing for tiddlers we headed to the middle damn. Andrew racing ahead in anticipation of the prospect of catching something a bit bigger. By the time I caught up to him he was into a fair size of fish, which had fallen to his second cast of a snatcher. It weighed in at about 2lbs but given a month or two probably would have been twice this as it was fairly skinny. After this fish the reservoir choose not to be very productive. Possibly due to the extremely low water levels and bright sky. We still choose to fish on and pretty much gave every fly we owned a quick dunk in the water.
