What I learned in 5 days of not catching a fish - Part 1 The Hard Way

We're back, with a slightly different kind of episode. We went out and did fly fishing The Hard Way. 

What is the hard way?

This is the story of Just Like Papa's 5-day fishing trip to Karoolskraal fishing camp near Witsand in the Western Cape. We were hosted by Andre van Wyk and Platon Trakoshis of Lucky Bastards.

Fishing was tough for the whole week, but Jon's stood out as the most impressive loser of the trip, with not a bite over 5 days. Fortunately he had all the recording equipment, and plenty of time to post-rationalise some lessons out of the experience. 

Many thanks to the rest of the group, including PJ, Danny, Sergio (AKA What my Boyfriend wore), Ryan, Hentjie, and the support team at the camp, who made us amazing, mind-blowing food

And of course, special thanks to Tom, the ringleader, party starter, and the electricity provider. He made it all possible.
