Yellowfish (Practice Catch and Release)
 


Fly Fishing For Yellowfish

Yellowfish are a freshwater species that swim the rivers of southern Africa. They seek breaks in the current where they can rest until some appetizing morsel comes drifting by. Yellowfish are extremely spooky and are always looking upstream, so approaching quietly from downstream and casting upstream is the most productive technique. Wet flies fished on or near the bottom is the most effective presentation, but if some kind of hatch is in progress, dry fly fishing can be fabulous. Once hooked, yellowfish do not jump but are very strong and will run great distances. They will average 2-4 lbs., fish up to 8 lbs. are common.
