GUIDES Tidal Loops Flyfishing Deon and Jessica Stevens
Where, What & When
We offer guided day trips to the pristine estuaries along the Garden Route, targeting the elusive spotted grunter, hard-fighting garrick, the occasional kabeljou (dusky kob), elf (shad) and even estuary mullet.

We do occasional trips to van der Kloof Dam on the Orange to target yellowfish , mudfish and sharp-tooth catfish. We can explore other options to fish the Eastern Cape for trout and yellowfish on request but advance notice required.
Subject to demand we also make 3-4 trips to NZ each year to sightfish the South Island for trophy brown and rainbow trout in backcountry rivers. We have added kahawai (Australian salmon) and quinnat salmon, and sight-fishing to kingfish on the flats near the top of the South Island where I used to live. Having lived in NZ for over 6 years and fished the South Island for close to 20 years you are assured of an experience to remember.

Additional Services
I tie trout and yellow fish flies on request, and have a good idea of what needs to be in a trout box for NZ or SA and Tasmania, as well as a yellowfish trip. I also tie what is necessary to cater for clients when on the Garden Route.
Beginners and experienced flyfishers are welcome to personalise their experience. I’ve been fishing since my early teens, and with my father as mentor, I eventually graduated to a fly rod. I now have over 40 years of experience and take pride in the dedicated attention I offer clients. I have fished most countries in Southern Africa, NZ and Tasmania, as well as Western Australia around Ningaloo Reef. Garden Route outings are typically day trips that include collection and drop-off, light snacks and refreshments, provision of all tackle suited to the day's fishing unless you choose to use your own.
A large proportion of my clients are now word of mouth or returning clients, and over the last 3 or 4 years since giving up on corporate finance working overseas and locally for a flyrod and freedom, I now have fishing buddies from all walks of life (including accountants!).
