  • Fishing Flies from the Transkei
    Location: Enclave, East Cape Province, South Africa Republic of South Africa Government: Self-governing tribal Transvaal homeland Area: 16,910 sq. mi. Swaziland Population: 2,876,122 (1985) Capital: Umtata Orange Natal Free The World’s First Fishing Fly Stamps State Cape Province Lesotho Building a Business in South Africa In 1976, Mr. Barry Kent, his partners, and the Republic of Transkei Development Corporation built a fishing fly manufacturing Eastern Cape plant at Butterworth, Transkei, South Africa. Transkei Western Cape The company, named High Flies Ltd., was one of the most modern fishing-fly manufacturing plants in the world. Pricing, quality and clever product marketing proved to be very successful. By 1979 High Flies was employing more than 350 labor-intensive Transkeians, producing over 1,000 dozen flies each day. These flies are used mainly in fly-fishing for trout and salmon. The entire production was exported to countries where these fish are prolific: America, the British Isles, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Scandinavia, and other European countries. An idea for promoting other Transkei industries was created by depicting fishing flies on postage stamps. The outcome produced a series of five sheets for each year from 1980 through 1984. Each sheet contains five different fly patterns arranged in se-tenant format. Although the last issue of these stamps appeared in 1984, the factory closed in 1983 due to a corrupt business partner and poor management by the South African/Republic of Transkei Development Corporation bureaucrats. Mr. Kent, along with approximately 390 local workers lost their jobs. Philatelic Specifications Designer: A. H.

  • David Weaver Who Sent a Treasure Trove of Information Mainly Pertinent to Sterkfontein - Which Will Be Fed Into the Bobbin Monthly
    AUGUST 2018 CHAIRMAN’S CHIRP Since last month I have really busy with the Southern African Flyfishing magazine. But it seems I had time to get drafted into the KZN regional FOSAF committee to supportDr. Bill Bainbridge in a review of FOSAF policies. I will of course be better placed to provide feedback to members about the activities of FOSAF. As you may know its crunch time for the Alien Invasive Species gazette call for comments. Time will tell… On the club front I’m concerned about the viability of the Bobbin. Under Ian’s hand he produced almost all the content, perhaps we have all become lazy because of this? Stelios has been trying to get content in from members because this is YOUR newsletter. The Bobbin cannot be a one sided affair. Stelios has had limited success in getting cooperation for his last two editions. Do members want this newsletter? Should we discontinue the Bobbin? Members need to decide….. FROM THE EDITOR After much whingeing, whining, cajoling and coaxing, I managed to get sufficient content to produce this issue of the Bobbin. I am sure that members must now be rather weary of me at this stage! When I was asked to edit the Bobbin, I felt that it should be a club newsletter with content produced by members – and this is what I have endeavoured to achieve. For a change, this edition has only one article NOT produced by a member. For that I want to thank David Weaver who sent a treasure trove of information mainly pertinent to Sterkfontein - which will be fed into the Bobbin monthly.

  • A Fish Story Martin Weir
    A Publication of the Texas Flyfishers Volume 27 / Issue 1 July 2007 A Fish Story Martin Weir One summer day back when I was but a young lad, I went out fishing in Big Sugar Creek, which was a small creek near our house in Pineville, Missouri. I was fishing for smallmouth bass with an inexpensive fiberglass rod and spincast reel spooled with 6 pound test monofilament. I was using an artificial lure fisherman even back in those days, so my lure of choice was a small swimming lure called a “Lazy Dazy”, which my grandfather had turned me on to. While wading downstream, I noticed a cool brush of water against my legs in the otherwise warmer creek water. I backtracked the cooler water until I traced it to a small spring which ran into the creek. The spring ranged from about ten to twelve feet in width. An eight foot limestone bluff formed the left bank of the spring and a brushy gravel bar formed the other bank. Since I couldn’t wade the brushy bank, I decided to walk along the top of the bluff and just “check things out”. Suddenly I saw a flash of color zip out from under the bluff and back under again. I stood there for a few minutes and then it flashed out again. Even though I had never seen a live rainbow trout something about the color of the fish suggested that this might indeed be a rainbow trout. Being that I couldn’t cast my “Lazy Dazy” in this scenario, I began to consider my options.

  • Fly Fishing with Spinning Tackle
    FLY FISHING WITH SPINNING TACKLE This setup is deadly on trout. It can be fished on the surface or close to the bottom and it works anywhere that you find trout. Fly fishing is divided into 2 categories: Dry fly and wet fly / nymph fishing. # 1. 90 % of the insects that a trout eats are in the form of nymphs. So this is where you should concentrate UNLESS you see trout taking insects from the surface. (see # 2) Fill your water float completely full of water, taking care that there are no air bubbles remaining. Slide your line through starting at the skinny end of the float. Next tie on a # 12 snap swivel. Tie a separate 5 foot leader of 2 - 4 lb. test with one of the following: # 12 Zug Bug, # 8 or # 10 Woolly Bugger / green or black, # 12 Hare's Ear nymph, or a # 12 Prince. Cast out and count. For every second, the water float will sink 1 foot and when it hits the bottom your line will go slack. If you counted to 12, then it is about 12 feet deep. Then reel SLOWLY 1 or 2 cranks and let it sit for 5 seconds and continue this pattern until all the line is in. The next cast you will want to shorten the sinking time by 2 seconds so that the fly covers the next 2 feet up and you continue on each cast to shorten the sinking time until you either catch fish or are at the surface. If you don't catch fish move a little bit down the shoreline and repeat.

In the last few years the Gulf Coast Council has been formed with (850) 696-2862 Mississippi, Louisiana and South Alabama clubs. Their emphasis is more aligned [email protected] with the fishing that many of us do along the Gulf and Bays. In addition their TREASURER conclaves are held along the Gulf Coast (last year in Miss.)

We have been discussing in (850) 232-7504 monthly meetings for about a year the possibility of moving our affiliation to the [email protected] Gulf Coast Council.
