Robert Van Rensburg

We gave Robert van Rensburg, current Captain of the South African National team and President of S.A.R.F.F.A a Vision Presentation Fly line to put through it's paces and he said the following: "this fly line is comparable to some of the best on the market" and "both in technical casting on the river and distance casting on still water I could not fault this line, it is durable yet flexible, have no memory and floats high in the water. It is truly an awesome fly line."

Grant Kieser - Vision Customer States

I went out to lakies on Saturday with the mountain caps still coated with the last remnants of the recent snow. The fishing was pretty tough. We fished from the side rather than taking float tubes out and I managed three rainbows and missed another one. It seemed like as soon as I caught a fish on one fly, I might as well change it because then I got nothing on it after that. All the fish were about a pound.

I started up near the inlet and got one fish on a size 12 Black HB Nymph with a slow hand twist retrieve over the reeds (about 50cm - 1m below a Strike indicator). After that fish was landed, it went totally dead so I walked across to the bank across from the hut and fished the drop off.

The water seems to drop off rapidly and I lengthened the leader gradually, trying to pick some snags on the bottom, but I got the flies down to about 14 feet and still not hitting the bottom. I caught another fish at that depth on a holographic buzzer so kept it at that depth, got one more take and then nothing again.

I changed to a san juan and again took a fish at about 14 feet down, this time fishing back up to the inlet before getting to the weedy parts.

On the way back I stopped at the inlet which was flowing fast and deep, so I had a few casts for about 50m up into the stream, but nothing doing. I don't know why the lakies rainbows don't go up there, but it was nice to have a few downstream drifts in anticipation of the rivers opening at the beginning of next month.

So that was it fish wise, but the other plus for the day was how impressed I was with my new acquisition. I bought a Vision 3zone 9'0" 6wt the day before and it handled beautifully. If anyone is in the market for another rod, I'd suggest giving one of these rods a cast the next time you're at a stockist. Two of the guys I was fishing with on Saturday had bought the 3zone 5wt 10'0" during the week and they were just as impressed with theirs as I was
