Euro Nymphing on the Vaal River - Fly Fishing October 2021

[@BacalaoBrad]

Great video

[@danielfowler923]

Nice video man just wondering what size nymphing rod is that your using??

[@RoaldPaul]

Hi Daniel, I was using a 5wt Technymph

[@fishonlinesa]

Nice Video man! Strikes are free with nymphing... if it feels like one - Strike! If the Nymphs break surface you just plant then again... so lekker!

[@sugriv3405]

Every where is a trout fishing this one is different & Nice one..👌👌

[@BAZEDMEADES]

Lovely...

[@warrenmorton4720]

Nice vid!!! Which venue was this at, and how many did you catch in total? 👍

[@RoaldPaul]

I caught 23 over Saturday & Sunday.

[@Fly_Revive]

Smallmouth fight darm lekker!

[@RoaldPaul]

They are hard intelligent fighters and it's alway exciting to have one on the line.

[@flyfishermandan]

Awesome video bud. Maak mens net lus vir nog

[@RoaldPaul]

Dankie Dan!

[@alexfaria2566]

Keen like a bean for a few weeks of this- awesome to see. Is that a horizon rod?

[@RoaldPaul]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind that either. No, that's a Technymph 10'5WT from Reel Fly Fishing.

The first part of the video looks almost like that spawning area at the bottom of the 2nd channel at Eendekuil we cordoned off to fishing for a few seasons.

Nice vid. Thanks for sharing. I saw you in the water. I was fishing with my father-in-law. We managed to catch all species that day between the 2 of us. My father-in-law biggest was a monster carp with plenty muddies. My biggest was a barbel. Dirty fighters.

[@vernonsinden7678]

Also took some pics and pics of our catches that day. Will share with you if you keen. 🤙🏻

[@RoaldPaul]

Well done man, and thanks for watching! Yeah I remember, you guys were fishing with the balloons?

[@vernonsinden7678]

@@RoaldPaul yeah. That was us. Our make shift strike indicators. Slows the line down in fast currents

[@RoaldPaul]

@@vernonsinden7678 Well done! Awesome to hear you guys had a productive day too.

[@johlanpretorius2147]

Awesome video!

[@RoaldPaul]

Bly jy het dit geniet!

[@robmiguel3276]

Awesome video man, I'm obviously going to the wrong spots, the water looks soo clean, I feel like that's why I struggle.

[@RoaldPaul]

Hi Rob, thanks man. Clear water definitely improves your chances but I think it's more about the drift and presentation of your flies to the fish, so that you can detect those takes.

[@robmiguel3276]

Thanks for the advice man, I just think places close to vanderbijlpark is very dirty. Iv had much better fishing in the potchefstroom area. Still a novice at the game though.

[@AlistairRoutledge]

Awesome video, bro! Carp are great fun on the fly rod :)

[@RoaldPaul]

Thank you Alistair. Yeah they are! Had me running down the rappids for at least 100m from where I hooked him.
