I Started Fly Fishing!

Twenty years ago I inherited a split-cane fly rod in a box with a Condex fly reel loaded with bottle green sinking line from my Father. The rod and box were falling apart but I kept the reel. I am a keen bass fisherman but I did borrow a fly rod from a friend once and tried my hand at fly fishing about 15 years ago. needless to say, I wasn't too successful casting although "roll casting" was alright, but that was as far as it went.
Recently while fishing for bass from my boat on the Vaal dam and seeing fish rising all around me, my thoughts turned to fly fishing again. I modified an old unused 7ft fibreglass rod and mounted the Condex on to it.
On February 12 this year after the Vaal dam overflowed I went down to the river with my Bass equipment and caught 4 yellowfish, one a largemouth, on Rapala. The following day I took my "fly rod" with and caught two fish on fly as well as others on the bass rods.
Two weeks later, after some research on the internet as to what flies to use for yellowfish, I went down to the river armed with my modified rod and P.S. Nymph flies in size 10. After three casts with the bass equipment I changed to fly fishing, after all, that was the whole purpose of the outing. Two hours and 17 fish later I headed for home grinning from ear to ear, totally hooked on fly fishing!
A week later using a borrowed 4wt fly rod with floating line 12 fish were caught in an hour, using the same fly! Just before a storm hit the yellowfish, mostly small ones, were hitting the fly every three to four casts! What fun!!
Learning how to fly fish could be one of the most rewarding things I'll ever decide to do. However, finding all the information you need (just to cast your first fly!) can be frustrating. I've found an online guide which I recommend at http://www.goldenyellow.co.za/Recommends/StartFlyFishingNow which provides a really easy-to-understand introduction. The author's aim is to bring people up to the skill level of an intermediate fly fisher and is very informative.
The last few weeks have been an exhilarating experience for me. If you want to fly fish, there's no better time to start than now and to speed up your learning curve just click on the link.
