SCI FLIES YELLOWFISH STERKFONTEIN DAM

The SCI FLIES Yellowfish Sterkfontein Dam Fly Selection is a carefully curated 21-piece assortment designed specifically for targeting Smallmouth Yellowfish in the clear waters of Sterkfontein Dam, South Africa.

This versatile selection combines proven dry flies and subsurface nymph patterns, giving anglers effective options for both surface-feeding fish and yellowfish holding deeper in the water column. Each pattern has been selected to imitate common terrestrial and aquatic food sources while providing different presentations for changing conditions.

INCLUDED FLY PATTERNS

The 21-piece assortment contains 3 of each of the following 7 patterns:

Hi-Vis Beetle – Black

A high-visibility terrestrial pattern designed for surface fishing. Its dark beetle profile provides a strong silhouette while the highly visible design makes it easier to track on the water and detect subtle takes.

Elk Hair Caddis – Brown

A classic dry fly pattern that provides a natural caddis profile and excellent surface presentation. Its buoyant construction makes it well suited to fishing over clear water where yellowfish are actively feeding near the surface.

Foam Wing Hopper – Black

A buoyant terrestrial pattern designed to imitate grasshoppers and other land-based insects that find their way onto the water. Particularly useful when yellowfish are feeding opportunistically on surface terrestrials.

PTN (GBB) – Black

A Gold Brass Bead Pheasant Tail Nymph designed for subsurface presentations. The bead adds weight to help the fly reach deeper water and is well suited to fishing around drop-offs and deeper-holding yellowfish.

GRHE (GBB) – Olive

A Gold Brass Bead Gold Ribbed Hare’s Ear Nymph with a buggy, natural profile. Its bead helps achieve a deeper presentation while the olive coloration provides a versatile imitation for subsurface feeding situations.

PTN – Black

An unweighted Pheasant Tail Nymph offering a slower, more natural descent. This pattern is useful when yellowfish are feeding higher in the water column or when a subtle subsurface presentation is required.

BBJ MayFly Flashback – Natural

A flash-backed mayfly nymph designed to provide a realistic profile with an added element of attraction. The flashback can help draw the attention of cruising yellowfish while maintaining a natural overall appearance.
