Although I consider Casino Beach to be a low tide venue, it is actually ideally fished at neap tides. This is when the wave action is not too overpowering and the holes open up nicely. Low tides means a flat beach with fewer holes while high tide means fighting the surf. So when the tides …
After a night out at the rugby (and a few too many beers) I decided that a quick trip down to the beach was in order. I was in desperate need of fresh air as well as a little exercise, and a flicking a fly into the surf checked all the right boxes. Checking the tides …
Sometime’s a picture is worth a thousand words. This is what we got up to before work yesterday.
There’ve been a lot of pregnancy posts of late, which is I suppose as it should be. That said I can’t possibly let the fishing slide so, on Sunday, I headed down to Inanda Dam with Baha Fly Fishing, the DFT, and some mates. I picked up Nick and we headed down to Inanda Dam …
With Nick being up in Mozambique I decided that a trip to the harbour was in order. After all, I didn’t want him to get an early lead in 2013. The low tide, which is essential for wading the sand banks, fell at around 1pm. Although this is not ideal for the game fish, the …

I guess some people may have called this particular trip a disaster with several things going wrong almost daily. But in truth it was really just an adventure, which is exactly what every camping trip should be. Hotels confuse me with their air con and TVs. I don’t travel to sit in rooms and watch TV. I …
Amazingly it had been 8 years since I last visited (and camped) at Midmar Dam in the Kzn Midlands. Yes, it’s not as scenic as the mountains and bass are not as fondly thought of as trout by most fly fisherman; but I’m not most fly fisherman! So when a long weekend popped up just …
