Greetings fellow fly fishing fanatics.
My name is Andre, and I am from Cape Town. My home waters are in the mountains of the Cape Winelands, probably the most picturesque wild trout rivers on earth, second only to Scotland of course. My first love is wild trout rivers, and light tackle. I have lurked on this forum for a while, and am happy that there are many people here, that share my passion for untra light and technical trout fishing. I have been of one or two UK based fly fishing forums, and am tyred of being told that the only way to fish a river is with a 6wt, and a stillwater with an 8 wt. I am one of the breed that does it ethically, and within the limits of the tackle I choose to use for the particular application, while pushing my tackle to the limit, to find my own limitations. I am a strict follower of catch and release, and fish only with barbless hooks. I enjoy dry fly fishing, nymphing, and any other technique that can seduce a spooky trout from it's lie.
I was introduced to this forum by "Catman", aka Alex, who I have had the priviledge of fishing with, on my home waters.
I look forward to some stimulating discussion with some of the members here, some of whom I recognise by name, and have a world of respect for their reputations.
I am here to learn about your home waters, and how you fish them, as well as to offer any constructive contribution that I can to the discussions.
