Peter Hayes Fly fishing Stripper Clip

Ben – ‘I have just received my Stripper Clip from Peter Hayes.  This is a unique belt- fitted clip designed and developed by Peter Hayes Fly fishing that stores your flyline in loops thus replacing the use of other bulky and cumbersome line storing devices such as stripping baskets.  I will put this product to the test in the surf and river during the next three weeks and let you know how effective it really is.’

THE FLYFISHING ACADEMY

Flycasting is the single most important aspect of flyfishing and yet it is the most neglected. In order to vastly improve your chances of catching fish, sign up for one of the following courses and receive professional tuition by a passionate and dedicated teacher. Over the years, Ben has developed some very effective and successful methods for teaching both the theory and practice of flycasting. To this end the academy offers teaching that takes place “off the water” as well as practical flyfishing workshops that take place “on the water”.
Flycasting Courses conducted by Ben Pretorius
• Basic Flycasting Course
• Introduction to Flycasting
• Distance and Power Casting
• Remedial Flycasting Lessons
• Casting in the Wind
Practical saltwater flyfishing workshop - at Rocktail Bay on the northern Kwa-Zulu Natal coastline.

A very special place!

Ben just spent five days at #Zingela which is on the banks of the #Tigela River. #Fishing for Yellows with a 7’6” 3 weight rod and catching a few really nice sized ones, the biggest being 55 cm.  Ben also hunted with his recurve bow, walking and stalking impala but could not get close enough to these very wary and illusive animals.  A very special place!

The Ufudu shop is gradually being transformed into a specialized one-stop fly fishing store for the serious, trout / yellowfish / tigerfish / saltwater fly angler.
Once fully transformed and stocked I will plan a launch of our new-look shop.
