Fly Fishing in Southern Africa | CNN Inside Africa and The Mission Fly Fishing Magazine

Fly fishing is rapidly growing in Southern Africa, both as a leisure activity and sport, with anglers, beginner and experienced, venturing further out of their comfort zones in search of spectacular locations and interesting species on fly. In this video that originally aired on CNN from the 5th-13th August 2023, CNN Inside Africa took an in-depth look at fly fishing in Southern Africa.
This video features the likes of fly fishing guides, Trevor Sithole, Collen Shabangu, Anthea Linsell and Martin Tsosane; fly tyers Ray Mutemeri and Alfred Chiwaya; and local characters like John Thoabala, Linda Gorlei and even our very own kob addict and editor-at-large Conrad Botes.
Written, directed and produced by Michael Cross.

What an inspired tribute to everything we can catch locally and everything our local businesses are doing to develop and promote the best passion ever invented. Well done all! Haven't even unpacked from Jozini yet but I think I need to go float tubing in the Cape Town surf now.

I still rember reciving a fly fishing vest and the first copy of The Mission on one of my birthdays, never knew it would lead to me being so in love with fly fishing and everything involved within it

Awesome film!!! Still drives me insane that I didn’t get into flyfishing until a week before I left South Africa! Was in Dullstroom, lost many fish and took a Montana Nymph to the eye…but that was all I needed to start the obsession!
