Adventure On Fly Pledge: When we are guiding we don’t fish, its 100% about our clients. It’s your day and your mission plus we don’t fish to ensure our clients get our full attention and the best possible shot at catching fish.

We offer demonstration/advice on casting and stripping techniques but we don’t do this with the intention of catching fish. When we do fish, it is on our own time to seek out new waters and check on how our favourite waters are fishing.

Fly Casting: To give you the best possible chance to catch a great fish, we would like to suggest that all clients have an accurate and reasonably long casting ability. If you would like a casting lesson and you are based in Gauteng, we would advise getting hold of Mark Yelland: 083 616 0505.

AOF Fly Fishing Tuition: Be ready for those big trips and local flings: Casting, understanding the gear, salt and fresh water techniques.

Note: We have found the majority of our clients that have strong casting ability get much more out of their day with us.

I was recommended to Chris for my fly fishing trip to Knysna. He certainly is a professional and knowledgeable guide and showed me where we would be likely to be successful on a difficult day. We were successful! Chris planned the day perfectly, from the good coffee and breakfast roll through some casting tips to catching fish.
