Oord Nebo is an excellent choice. Its easy to wade and the fish there are big.
Another option is Raaswater that is just above Oord Nebo. Was there last year the weekend after we all had the social at Nebo.

I got smoked by big fish. I had fish break a 15lb leader running upstream.
Hooked into a big fish I played for about 20 minutes only to be broken off on a submerged tree. I even had fish bend the hooks open here. So, I am due for a rematch.

The wading here is also easy going, plus they do the extra effort in taking you to Scandanavia Drift bridge and dropping you off there for a drift downstream in your Crockie or Ark.

If its the 16th, I might be in for this one

If you can play the violin, sure you must be able to juggle a bit of time for this one?

Sounds like a nice name for a new fly, maybe you should create one, using all the thai curry colors, might be a

Okay I tell you what, I will look into this Thai Curry Fly you are suggesting and I will tie you a handful and give them to you on our next outing.

However, I would pay a large sum of money to see the look on your face when you hook into a Mumbai Radioactive Carp or Barbel on the Vaal. Both these are guaranteed to not only run you into the backing but you will feel the sharp pain similar to a paper cut once the line burns through your finger and the added effect of knuckles busting on that knob of your fly reel as you are trying to slow that creature down on that 15lb leader.

You my friend will look like a cross between Paul Adams and a bartender pouring Bloody Mary's, and I will be there with the camera, hitting a PRICELESS moment for the scrapbook.
