What is your favorite Fly pattern?
Geoff Muir
My favorite fly would without doubt be a size 16 unweighted PTN -
You know I've caught more fish on this fly than any other.
How Long have you been fishing and where did you learn to flyfish?
I first held a fly rod in the UK catching trout in rivers and streams in North Yorkshire England. It was in 1966. I started in S.A. catching yellows on vaal 1970. Fished light tackle bank angling provincial for 15 years.
What is your Most Memorable Catch?
My most memorable catch was a 9kg tiger on a 7 wt rod. It never jumped and kept me busy for 45 mins.
What makes fly-fishing so Special?
After years of bank angling I had to simplify. I was fed up of carrying a bakkie and trailer full of gear. I decided to catch only on fly or artlure. In 1990 I gave up bank angling for good.
What Is your preference to gear brands?
Over the years I have tried many brands of rods a reels. My top rod by far is a T&T horizon 5 wt 10ft . I have a few Sage rods too.
Since fishing Shilton reels I find it hard to fish anything else.
