General Information

FlyFishing for Yellowfish or Yellows on the Orange River in South Africa, just below the Gariep Dam wall as at lodge called “Orange River Tented Camp” the main technique used is called Czech Nymphing. Sorry about the jerky video but it is quite difficult to fish with one hand and record video with the other. Nonetheless I think it is watchable and please understand I am by no means a pro, thus my commentary is just to give one an overview of what I was thinking of at the time.
