Truttablog is a "Trout centric" journal, in which I seek to highlight South Africa as a fly-fishing destination. In particular I write about my home waters of the Kwa-Zulu Natal province, which seem to receive little press. Recent moves by authorities in South Africa, are threatening to close down Trout hatcheries, ban the practice of catch and release, and in other ways see the demise of a species, entirely without good reason.
I hope that in some small way, my writing will amplify the pleasure and importance of fly-fishing for Trout in South Africa, and in so doing will act as a counter weight to this turning wheel.

HI Andrew, great photos of your midge patterns. If you don’t mind me asking, where do you get your red and green glass beads? Hope you managed to get out onto the rivers for opening day of the season?

Hi Andrew. The glass beads: I merely got them from a [non fly-fishing] bead shop. We have several of those here, and if you dig around you can find these beads with a silver lined hole which is large enough.
