Deon from Tidal Loops managed this absolute monster Spotted Grunter over the weekend. Fishing the Garden route in winter can be challenging but also extremely rewarding to those who brave the cold.
.
.
The SALTYDOG 9 weight #flyrod proved to be his weapon of choice while wading ankle deep water in hopes of convincing these illusive prawn lovers!
.
Head over to the Reel Fly Fishing store to get the lowdown on the SALTYDOG fly rod range.

To celebrate the launch of the completely revamped website and store we have this one of a kind 2wt | 11' Euro Nymph rod up for sale.
.
.
.
Built from the base of our trusted and proven Nymph 3.4 | 10' blank, the 2wt brings a reduction in weight, increase in sensitivity and new taper. The 11' length gives even more reach and balances beautifully with a 5.6 weight fly reel.
.
.
We added a host of special small details to the build which include, a fully custom turned cork grip and fighting butt, alignment dots, 3 measurement points on the first section to measure catches, double down locking reel seat in 3K carbon, as well as a sighter tip in copper wraps. A full custom designed water slide graphic and the rod is like no other out there.
.
.
.
If you are looking to have a custom fly rod built let us know, or if you are looking to build your very own then we have a selection of quality components available in the store!

Shout out to Morne from the George who took up fly fishing about a year and a half ago or so.
.
We set him up with a trusty Burnt Orange Leviathan #flyreel and the powerful Brute #flyrod. Both are still going strong like day one! .
.
Just one of the many Leeries he has managed since taking up the sport and we always look forward to his latest catches.

We have been testing and toying new ideas for our next range of fly reels for quite some time now, this was an early prototype that contained some new hybrid cardon fibered spool and frame technology.
.
.
We learned alot since then and have applied the feedback and adjustments to our next iteration.
.
.
.
This was also the trip that we signed off on the CastGlass range of #flyrods.
.
.
.
Looking to the future there are do many innovative and interesting carbon based and graphene based products that we will be sharing once lockdown begins to phase down.

Lockdown has hit us all hard and will continue to do so for months to come, that being said it's not forever. Take this time to reflect on your favorite trips and destinations and plan for it, once we all get through this our favorite places will be waiting for us, and life will return to normal.
.
.
The confluence of the Bell River and the Sterksruit in the Eastern Cape near Rhodes is the place I am most looking forward to heading back to. Losing myself in the romance of a small mountain stream!! I will be armed with a trusty split cane and my favorite Nymph rod, ready to show those rested trout a thing or two!!
.
.
.
We wanted to thank all of our customers for their loyal support these past few weeks, and we cannot wait to show you all what we have been working on.
.
.
.
Be strong, be patient and soon enough we will all be doing what we love most... Swinging a rod and watching it fly!

If we had to choose one time of the day to focus on with a fly, it would be last light for us.
.
There is something so special about a day drawing to a close, the impending silence, the stillness, the beauty in the reflections and most of all, the tanatious aggressive last takes and hookups!!
.
.
.
Most anglers pack up as soon as the light begins to fade, but next time you are out there, whether it be on a lake or in the waves give it a shot, u will be pleasently surprised. Our largest catches are usually at this incredible time of day, and the big guys lose much of their wiseness and let their guard down, just long enough for our flies to fool them!

We have been developing a host of next generation materials and pictured here is just one of the early samples that has since been succeeded by our chosen #nextgen material for our fly rods!!
.
.
Over the next little while we will be sharing our vision and models for the new #flyrods that will be forming the APEX, ECO SWIFT 2.0 and TECHNYPH ranges.
.
.
These new products will be unlike any seen in South Africa and will be a testament to our innovative approach to fly fishing.
.
The APEX will be the ultimate culmination of what is possible in a fly fishing rod, whereas the TECHNYMPH is a technological leap in a dedicated #euronymphing rod, our tried, tested and loved ECO SWIFT range will be getting a healthy make over with a faster action and additional models.
. .
.
Long term #saltwater testing of the Aurora fly reels was also conducted as part of the 2 years of research into these exciting new fly fishing rods!!

@dr_flies_ knows a thing or two about getting some wiley #rainbowtrout to grab his flies first! Just one of the many beautiful specimens that he has managed from the #dullstroom area.
.
.
One of our custom REEL XL #flyreels in 5.6.7 weight made quick work of this catch.
Alongside is the 10' 3.4wt fly rod. .

Finding that mix between a split cane and graphite fly rod is where our CastGlass range fits in.
.
Offering a buttery smooth medium to slow action but with loads of bottom end power. When using a slower fly rod it can really help to set your pace while on the river, somehow slowing down your movements and actions like that of the rod. Giving you time to really work an area and loose yourself in the water. .
.
Hooking your first wild rainbow trout on a glass rod is pretty special, as the bend is epic and you can swear your into a fish 3 times the size!
.
.
.
I fell in love with the 4wt CastGlass while down in Rhodes towards the end of last year and it's now one of my personal favorites along with a 3wt Split Cane and 2wt Nymph rod.

It's amazing how quickly all our lives have changed, and looking back to some past trips really makes you appreciate them even more.

Taken on our first afternoon after touching down in #mauritius and after landing a few small Kingies and missing a Cuda after it chewed up my flipper proper 😞
.
.
.
As we near the end of lockdown and the excitement that this brings I am sure I'm not alone knowing that soon enough we Wil be back on the water doing what we do best, chasing tails!

Nothing is more refreshing than landing a Largie of this size! Sheldon managed this absolutely stunning specimen while down on the #Orangeriver late last year.
.
.
Making use of the Leviathan 7.9 dusted silver fly fishing reel proved to be his weapon of choice and made this picture and memory possible.
.
.
.
Congrats again to Sheldon who knows a thing or two about chasing this elusive beasts of the Orange!

Well, this is not the catch we were hoping for while hunting for Grunter, but these little guys tend to be in the same areas.

We noticed that they tend to follow the grunter around picking off missed prawns and crustaceans that the Grunter blow out while feeding.
.
.
While this is by no means a trophy fish it's always nice to look back during this time and take in those small victories and moments that help you grow as a fly angler.
