Yellow fish from Israel !

Yellows in the Jordan River.

We have two types of yellowfish here smallscale (Damascus barbel ) and largescale.

Both living mostly in Jordan river. ( Israel )
Largescales are very common here up to around 2-3kg, caught well on lures (not many flyfisherman here).

Smallscale is not taking lures at all, but taking flies quite well.
I had a luck on a weekend and caught a good size one. Next time I'll try and send you a largescale on a fly (untill my last visit to South Africa I was fishing for them on a lure).

Best regards,

Arthur

A long time ago...

May to June

The first letter in the month's May and June should have been a T. Not a minor or "kleinletter" t like we say it in Afrikaans , but a BIG , Capitol , Mayor "T".

The reason, I ( we ) had some of the best fly fishing for

TARPON , TRAVELLY , TIGER Fish and TROUT

in the last two months.

This is just a short photo essay on the Cuba trip. We were hosted on boa

rd Avalon 1 , a 7 star yacht. The fishing took place in " Jardinas de la Reina " - loosely translated - The Gardens of the Queen.
