I would have rather be playing with my new boat this weekend - but still another week to complete the safety inspection rigmarole and get the Durban harbour permit - so being in the Berg is boring compared to putting the boat in the water for the first time.

The boat is fully kitted and ready, parked in my driveway and I stare at it many times a day.....

Cold weather is good for trout I always think - pity I have to fish the dams though....will be visiting one of our club's trophy dams so hope to hook a bus or two (but anything will do actually)

I havnt - when I fish the dams - I only fish UHTFC waters - being a member and all, I dont pay rod fees. I also fish Giants Cup sometimes when there are no gusets there, my buddy owns the place...in fact I am staying right next door this weekend

Ah OK. Didn't they used to be part of the UHTFCin the past?

Drove past there again on Sunday morning coming back from the Kei, theres just something about that lake that always makes me twitchy - definately on my list of must fish spots!!

Due to dwindling membership - the club has reduced the number of dams that it manages - so that it can efficiently stock the best fishing dams. Some dams have become marginal (weeds, bass accessibility etc)

Club has about 200 members now (down from over 1000 ten years ago) due to no younger members joingin, petrol costs of getting there etc
