One of my biggest yellow yet... Usually, I don't take any scales with me... not really about the size unless you wanna win. Well, I win when I wake up, catch a new breath and if I am fortunate, get to go do something I enjoy.

Learning to Catch Yellowfish with Vaal NymphingAre you ready to go on an exciting fishing adventure and learn about something called "Vaal Nymphing" to catch the amazing Yellowfish? Well, get your fishing gear ready, because we're about to dive into the art of catching these beautiful fish!What Is Yellowfish?Yellowfish are like the sunshine of the river. They have a bright yellow color that shines in the water. These fish are super fun to catch, and they live in rivers and streams. But they can be a bit tricky to catch because they like to hide in the water.What Is Vaal Nymphing?Vaal Nymphing is a special way of catching fish, like Yellowfish, using a fly fishing technique. But don't worry; it's not about catching flies! Instead, we use tiny artificial insects that look like real bugs. These bugs are called "nymphs."Let's Get Started: The Basics of Vaal NymphingTo start, you'll need a special fishing rod called a fly rod. It's longer and thinner than regular fishing rods. This helps you cast the nymphs gently onto the water, just like real bugs falling in.Choose the Right Nymph: Pick a nymph that looks like the insects Yellowfish love to eat. Yellowfish often eat small bugs that live underwater, so your nymph should mimic these bugs.Casting Your Line: Stand in the river or by the stream, and gently cast your line onto the water. The goal is to make it look like the nymph is swimming along with the current.The Waiting Game: Now, you need to be patient. Wait for the Yellowfish to spot your nymph and take a bite. When you feel a pull on the line, it's time to set the hook and reel in your fish!Reeling in the Catch: Gently reel in your line while keeping it tight. This will help you bring in the Yellowfish without losing it.Tips for Success:Observe Nature: Watch the bugs in and around the water. This will give you an idea of what kind of nymph to use.Quiet Moves: When you're near the water, be as quiet as a mouse. Noise can scare the fish away.Be Patient: Fishing takes
Nymphing for muddies (also known as mudfish) in the Vaal River can be a rewarding angling experience. Here are some tips on how to catch muddies effectively using nymphing techniques:
Locate Muddy Habitats:
Muddies are often found in slow-moving or still waters, particularly in the deeper sections of the Vaal River. Look for areas with aquatic vegetation, submerged structures, or undercut banks, as muddies like to hide and ambush prey in these spots.
Use Appropriate Tackle: A lightweight to ultralight fly rod in the 2-4 weight range is suitable for muddies. Pair it with a reel that matches the rod's weight and has a smooth drag system.
Use a floating fly line and a leader with a length of 9-12 feet.
Select the Right Flies: Muddies are opportunistic feeders and will often go after small aquatic insects and nymphs. Use nymph fly patterns that mimic aquatic insect larvae or small crustaceans. Popular choices include Pheasant Tail Nymphs, Hare's Ear Nymphs, and freshwater shrimp imitations. Ask your local Fly Guys as well.
Presentation: Cast your nymph upstream and let it drift naturally downstream with the current. Muddies are typically found near the riverbed, so adjust your leader length to get your nymphs down to their level. Use a slow and controlled retrieve, periodically twitching the fly to mimic the movements of prey.
Be Patient: Muddies can be a bit shy, so give them time to inspect the fly. If you feel a slight bump or see the line move slightly, set the hook with a gentle but firm strip strike.
Pay Attention to the Seasons: Muddies tend to be more active in warmer months, but they can be caught year-round. Be aware of the seasonal variations in their behavior and adjust your tactics accordingly.
Explore Different Locations: Don't limit yourself to a single fishing spot on the Vaal River. Muddies may change their locations based on water temperature, food availability, and other factors.
Experiment with different locations to increase your chances
