It wasn’t long ago; around mid-September I remember, that despite being prime fishing season in Idaho, I was working too much and not fishing enough. Many were concerned but I said don’t worry. I knew that from late September until mid-December an epic fishathon was coming.
Well I wasn’t joking. Today, with last week’s Belize trip blogs complete and all the salty photos edited and filed away, and as the first snow began to pound Idaho, I left for South Africa on a reconnaissance mission for the Word Masters Fly Fishing Team. Team USA and I will return for the actual competition in February.
I’m meeting our Team USA manager, Jerry Arnold, in Johannesburg tomorrow afternoon. Retrieving us will be South Africa trout fishing guide, Daniel Factor. From there Dan will take us to the Dullstrom area spending a few days showing us around February’s competition waters which this year entail mostly lakes. Our last two days at the end will be dedicated to yellowfishing.
Jerry and I did this together back in March where we checked out the comp waters for this year’s tournament in Asturias Spain. You may remember the floods that ruined our fishing however turned it into a fun tourist and eating trip. Stay tuned, I’m sure this one will be fun also!
Be sure to keep track of my upcoming travels around the world!

Dang, I was hoping that you were fishing the salt down there. There are so many cool predator species
Funny Gary. I know what you mean. You can backtrack the blogs to November 2015 and you’ll find me saltwater fly fishing in South Africa
