FLYFISHING
Alaska, Canada, Russia, Scotland, Argentina. These are all destinations now
being offered to South African flyfisherman. The ability to Spey cast on these
river systems is guaranteed to improve any flyfishermans ability to cover
water, control long lengths of line, and in turn, catch more fish.
Developed on the mighty River Spey in Scotland, this style of casting has
revolutionised fishing on bigger river systems worldwide. Mavungana
Flyfishing are the only outfitter in South Africa with three internationally
certified speycasting instructors. Derek Manson (REFFIS, STANNIC), Mark
Taylor (REFFIS) and Jonathan Boulton (REFFIS) have all worked abroad on
river systems primarily utilising the Spey Cast in its varied forms. A weekend
clinic will have you casting lengths of line you thought not achievable.
An accomplished spey caster can achieve casts of up to 45 metres with
relative ease. You will learn the single and double spey cast, snap T and snake
roll off both shoulders.
Even if you dont have a big trip planned where you will need this style of
casting, you will enjoy an enlightening experience and learn a lot about the
dynamics of this cast. Spey casting, and its sister casts are now used
extensively by single handed flyfisherman, to achieve casts, and reach parts
of overhangs, cast up against steep banks, and make trick casts to get your fly
where it needs to be. The advantage of the double handed rod has unlimited
potential, helping cover huge amounts of water on the likes of the Zambezi
River and casting over breakers in the salt. Hosted one or two night clinics
are available at various locations on the lower Vaal River, just a 2 1/2 hour
drive from Johannesburg. All equipment is provided, meals are prepared by
your instructors, and fishing and casting is right on your doorstep.
