Clanwilliam Yellowfish.
I do the papgooier thing in the farm dam to try and keep the Carp poulation down. I have flogged the dam a few times with my fly-rod, in the hope of a Clanwilliam Yellowfish - a few of which were stocked here by CN - but had given up until today.
My first ever C Y fish. +/- 16" ! Even if caught on a carp rig.
Size for size 3x the fight of a carp. So it's out with the fly rod again.
Any suggestions on which fly for them would be welcome.

Re: Clanwilliam Yellowfish.
AFAIK Yellowfish is the hardest freshwater fighter you can catch in SA. Nice! :)

PS. I use a 7' 3-4 wt so if i do hook another one of the same size, it's going to be fun and games.

Re: Clanwilliam Yellowfish.
I thought they were on the endangered list.
