Recent Catches At Unnamed / Route 540 Pond

Another early morning fly fishing session with fly guide David from Millstream farm 🇿🇦 waters were boiling with rises as we observed a hatch of super fast yet tiny beetle-like insects surfacing before disappearing again. The bow chases and extravagant jumps prompted David to suggest that I change my thin x5 tippet to a stronger stiffer x2 tippet. I thank my lucky stars for having David's invaluable knowledge, for just as I casted out the x2 tippet with foam hopper, I got smashed by the meanest rainbow in the feeding frenzy. Within seconds it ran my retrieved slack fly line all the way down, the reel whining sharply as he refused lead on. After a 2 min fight he slacks down for just a few seconds for me to start retrieving before smashing ahead in a new attempt to get free. David excitedly guides me to secure this energetic beast. After 4 mins I finally won the battle in securing this 51cm, 1,7kg raging rainbow trout! Once again thanks for your special guidance David 🇿🇦 it was an absolute pleasure to learn from you and to study and develop new methods of fly fishing on the farm (from 5am) with you!

Smashing 6 Rainbow Trout in under an hour with fly guide David from Millstream farm. The first 4 was within 23mins of starting. At one point we decided to skip the pictures and just take full advantage of the feeding frenzy 🤙🏻🎣🏆 absolutely amazing fights from the biggest of the day ending at 2.5kg all safely released to fight another day

So I was trying to untangle a wind knot, when 2 trouts decided to charge at the uncasted flies, one landed and safely released. Ridiculous fight felt like fighting a feral bush pig🤙🏻🎣 Tight Lines

After losing 4 big takes yesterday this felt well deserved, but at some cost. Unfortunately this greedy fellow decided to smash both flies at once and got injured. Thank you to David, from Millstream farm, absolutely one of the best fly guides I've ever had the pleasure to fish with🤙🏻🎣 Tight Lines
