While trout and, to a lesser extent bass and yellowfish were the main focus of the early contributors to Piscator<\/em>, articles on marine fly fishing started appearing in the 1980s.<\/p>\n

This was a reflection of a growing interest in marine fly fishing elsewhere in the world.<\/p>\n

CPS members like Sean Mills and Leonard Flemming contributed articles that reflected their interest in sand shark and mullet respectively.<\/p>\n

Today some members of the CPS focus on grunter \u2013 as the development of the JAM fly indicates - as well as kob and other species found of the Western Cape coast such as garrick. Thanks to the internet, we can follow their R&D efforts on websites like Feathers & Fluoro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The early articles in Piscator <\/em>retain their relevance however.<\/p>\n
