VAAL TRIP # 2 ( or 3 )
« on: October 19, 2011, 07:59:30 PM »
Guys and Girls, Methinks it's time for another Vaal trip.  :clwn
 
The trip is open for anyone who wishes to fish the Vaal for Yellows on fly.  Walkers amd Mrs Simpson,it's time you caught a decent freshwater fish  w;k
 
The dates are the 26 /27 November. ( Set in Stone ).
 
I am sure there will be people wishing to camp / stay in Chalets overnight so the venue will have to be SWAMBO/ Family/  wading friendly ( for newbies ) as well as not too far from GP.
 
Depending on numbers there are a few venues, i.e.
 
Oord Nebo ( They seem to have got their act together ito catch & release )
Eastco
Elgro
Raaswater.
 
WE need to set a venue quickly so that we can book, so chasps blast away.

If we caught fish on every trip, it would be called " Catching". We don't, and that's why it's called "Fishing".

Went to Elgro last year for the Bells Fly Festival and was very impressed with the venue - nice rooms/chalets and it was very affordable. Would love to join you guys. I'm struggling with the yellows, usually go to Woelwaters but haven't caught anything yet - would appreciate a few lessons from the pro's!!!

OK then it's either Elgro or Eastco.
 
Which one ? Eastco has more wadeable water close by. ?

I do not know Elgro's water other than the drift (row :crzy ) that we did a while ago but it has an excellent reputation.

 Eastco has some easy wading water directly in front of the venue plus a lot more water for anyone willing to explore. It also has the option of camping as well as chalets.

i will be spending the night and fishing both days regardless of venue.

I'll second Andrew here, plus we won't have to drive to the other side of the planet!

I think we should vote, maybe we should see if we can get a chalet or two. (When voting indicate if you are a snorer)

I've just spoken to Susan at Eastco. All the chalets are still open for that weekend and about 12 Camping spots.
She will e-mail me the rates which I will post once too hand.
 
Susan's no is : 083 379 2872.
 
P.S. When booking please tell her it's for the Ultimate trip. I'm trying to squeeze some discount out of them. :hnthnt: :hehe: :hehe:
