Into clubs, festivals and gatherings about all things fly fishing? If you’re near Johannesburg, Gauteng then the Transvaal Fly Tyers Guild will sort you out with fly tying events, info and the odd fish-a-long outing.
WHAT
Vaalies get together, tie some flies, talk about their J Vice and get professional advice and demos from local legends. Hosted by the boys at Stream and Sea, the guild meets monthly at Deep Sea Ski Club, Ernst Ullmann Recreation.
Materials are included for keen fly tyers to monkey-see, monkey-do the presenter’s pattern, but tyers should bring their along their own tools and vice.
HOW MUCH?
Singletons pay R350, and fly fishing families pay R400 per year. Students attend mahala.
HOSTED FISHING
The club has recently started hosting fish-a-long days, starting off with a Vaal dam session with Mr. Whiskers himself, Highveld fly fishing guide Terry Babich.
