Biography & Thoughts
I live on a seasonal river which is prone to flooding most of the summer months and so only really get to fly fish in the Spring and Fall. Now and again i'll get invited out to fish some up country river or lake but it is on the Tugela River near the small forgotten town of Weenen that I fish for yellowfish (a species closely related to Mahseer) and catfish with fly most of the time.
