I always like to combine some fishing with my African safaris. I always hunt in Zimbabwe, and I have been able to fish for tigerfish in the Zambesi River as well as fly fish for rainbow trout in Zimbabwe's eastern highlands. On my upcoming September hunt, I have the opportunity to fly fish for yellow fish in South Africa. Have any of you ever done this kind of fly fishing before? If so, I would be interested in your insights and any stories you could tell.

Have a look at the following website...

The yellowfish in Lesotho look phenomenal

Not an expert but have likely got 50 plus days of yellows under my rod ! Small mouth in rivers and also Sterkies.

What info are you looking for ?

Thanks for the reply Charlie - basically looking for best time of year to fish for them, gear to bring etc. Most of what I have read suggests 5wt rods, but that seems a bit light to me based on how big these fish get. Do I need to bring waders etc, or is this fishing from the bank or a boat?
