You can see them within the highlands of Scotland - real gentleman - with deer hunter caps and plus fours and vests with a lot of pockets. They dress in thigh high water boots and the fly fishing rod in their palms moving up and down as they cast the fly of the day, to trout. They are fly fishing.

Moreover, you may discover them dressed in a different way in other parts around the world, but they say these individuals stay gentlemen. The gentlemen of the sport of fly fishing. Mention the name Dullstroom in the right company, and eyes will illuminate and the mouth will form the word "trout". Mention Mrs. Simpson or emerging nymph or Zulu pearly and you get a response of: "No, No, try Wickham's fancy rather!" This then, the way the gentlemen talking about flies - fishing flies, both wet and dry! Fly fishing in South Africa was historically a hobby for fishing trout in areas including the Mpumalanga Highveld, the Drakensburg area and the Eastern Cape areas of Ugie, MacClear and Elliot. The adventure has since expanded to include bass - mostly largemouth bass, yellow fish, barbell and even sea fishes.

A great deal of the sport revolves around the fishing tackle utilized which is different in style from the common fishing tackle. The most crucial portion of equipment to many fly fisherman are the lures that are utilized. These resemble some insect type or other that is normally found in the area being fished. Feathers, twine and coloured thread is used to 'tie the flies' around hooks of different sizes to represent the insects chosen, flies are for sale, but tying your own flies puts you a step or three above individuals that buy them ready made. Flies are either wet or dry meaning they will either float on the water or sink to a certain depth as lure to trout. The fishing line that is used is tapered from being rather thicker at the end linked with the reel and tapering down to a thin front to which very thin fishing line with a breaking strain of such strengths to allow for landing the bass without breaking. The full line has various parts and names and it is all technical, all keenly discussed with regard to weight and whether it's a sinking or floating line. The final connecting bit between your fishing line and the fly is called the 'tippet' and tied to the line with a blood knot, while the fly is linked to the end of the tippet using an Albright knot. Fly fishing, naturally needs to be complicated even further with the several types of reel to which the fishing line is attached, not to mention the fishing rod - the rod is the prize possession (apart from a popular fly) of many a fly fisherman. Crafted from a variety of materials, some being compound materials, the length, tapering and balance of the fly fishing rod are additional conversation points.
