Flies & tactics for Orange River yellowfish?

[Gavonski]

Hi guys

I have an upcoming river rafting trip on the Orange River (Richtersveld). I always take a few rods with, including a fly rod. On previous trips I have had most luck with a light spinning rod and bread as bait. I am keen to give the flyfishing a go though, and would appreciate any insight into what flies work well, tackle setup, tactics etc.

Cheers

The small mouth yellow fish is a good figter. I caught plenty wilth a yellow caddis. No great skill is required as they are aggressive...Best spots in the Orange are above or before white water or rapids early in the morning.

Please remember to catch and release. Their numbers are under threat.
