This little fellow took a nymph in quick water on Stoneycroft farm, a place I have been hanging out at a lot lately.
I hope you enjoy reading Truttablog

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 Roger . I think you will find that if you look closely at these little chaps, the orange and red spots are there, but they are tiny, and grow in proportion as the fish gets bigger…..but hey…I’m no scientist….just observation. That blue cheek spot they sometimes get….I don’t ever see that on tiny/young fish….

Now I know that Brown Trout are born with fully grown black freckles ….. do the other colours appear later on?
