Sorry about this but....off to the drakensberg I go!
« on: September 30, 2010, 08:01:14 PM »
Hey ho hey ho! and off to to the Berg I go! A week of staying at Castleburn and fishing fishing fishing - I hope the rivers are running fine - otherwise its the Castlebrn dams for me and select UHTFC waters - I have some rivers in mind and a couple of trophy dams as fall back if the rivers are bad.

Sorry about you guys that are staying home and working - but life is like that....and I hope to see that my vegetable garden has grown by the time I get back.

Lets hope the weather is good and the trout are hungry - and I always take pics - and release....but not always carry a camera on the river...too heavy and risky

If only I could fit into that! Caught 23 (biggest about 12") trout (biggest about 12")this morning a few steps away from the lodge that I am staying in. Such tame fishing! tiny stocked ponds - caught all on a 2wt with dry flies -got bored and went back. Need to get some real water. Thiese "put and take" tiny lakes is what Guatengers think is torut fishing (sorry guys - but I have been to one or two of those dams up there!)

Tomorrow I venture out into club waters

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa ok my friend - I found your report - but the small stocked dams just got you going.
Go get those loners now in the bigger lakes.
Good luck and looing out for your next report.
Enjoy & Enjoy

I fished the big dam today and caught three fish - two cock fish weighing 2,1 kg, 2,3 kg and a 2.5 Kg hen - all released. A lucky day - my partner hit a blank

Very good then = I wish you luck for today - Monday.
In a few hours I am on my way to Jozini Dam to fish two days for Tiger Fish.
Huge South Gale Force at the moment in Maputo.
When will you be back home??

Ziggy
Come visit me at Leeuwkloof if you want to catch quality fish. This weekend a friend of mine bettered all his previous pb's. Brown of 3.2 kg a golden of 1.8 kg and rainbow of 3.8 kg. Come check it out you will never regret. We do not stock fish of less than 1 kg.
Enjoy

Cold front hit last night - went out for 3 hours this morning---three takes but not hooked - brought one of about 2kg to the net....got cold and came back to the fireplace - going out now again for an hour - its 4.30. Hope to catch something! Yesterday was too lucky I think!

Stokstyf!
