Every now and then opportunities come around and this past weekend was one of those rare opportunities. My great mate Craig Brehany is a partner in Rhino Energy, a alternative energy solution company and some maintenance work was required at the home of one of his customers.
We left Centurion on Saturday morning at 6 am to the Lowveld and arrived at the homestead by 10 am. The battery bank was replaced and all technical work completed by 2 pm, the system was working and we could really get down to some relaxing.
Craig and I did a hike down the the second weir from the home and here i caught a trout of 1kg on a Pancorra.
We slowly worked our way back to the house and Craig caught a beauty of 1,2kg on ablack woolly bugger.
We stopped fishing when bad light stopped "play" We went up to the house made a braai and had a few refreshment before retiring for the evening.

Nice stuff!

The Sunday morning after a coffee and rusk we hit the streams again. I caught three more fish for the day. Craig also caught a second trout. This fishy decided to wrap it up in the tippet and we were scared it would drown. We released the fish before a photo could be taken.
Unfortunately we had to pack up and leave for the big smog! To my mate Craig, thank you for the opportunity and a brilliant relaxing awesome fishing weekend.
I do believe we have to check on the system soon...... :hnthnt:
