Fly Fishing Underberg 2014
Check out this video from a great fly fishing trip to Underberg, South Africa.
My AWESOME Birthday Present
This year I was lucky enough to receive an incredible gift, a custom made fly fishing net courtesy of my wife. It was hand crafted by Mario Geldenhuys of Custom Fly Rods and is nothing short of incredible.
Late Winter Albert Falls
Amazingly Sharon and I had never stayed at Albert Falls Nature Reserve, so when some good specials came up we grabbed a few friends and headed for the dam. Nick and Tarryn opted to camp while Sharon and I decided to stay in a rondavel after our chilly weekend at Lake Eland. After driving through …
The Boston Dargle Fly Fishing Festival 2014
My wedding anniversary was once again upon me, which also meant that it was time for the annual Boston Dargle Fly Fishing Festival. As Team Baha we’d fished two of the three events, missing out on only one since my wedding was on the same weekend. We’d also won the event in 2013 and were …
Retying The Foul Hook Award
Nick and I won the Durban Fly Tyers Foul Hook award in 2013. This meant re-tying the giant fly for the 2014 winner. I took on the challenge and put together a large popper with the help of his injured wife.
A Weekend At KarMichael, Himeville
A few friends and our families headed to Underberg for a relaxing weekend at KarMichael Guest Farm, located on the outskirts of Himeville. This of course meant that we were within spitting distance of the UHTFC waters; a temptation too good to resist. Sharon and I left early on Thursday morning after feeding Emma. The …
A Tough Day On The Bushman’s River
After a poor showing on the rivers for most of the season we decided that a trip to the Bushman’s was in order. A Monday public holiday gave us the perfect opportunity so we booked the water and were on the road at 5am, heading for the Giant’s Castle area. Our usual coffee stop was …
Sterkfontein Gold Baby!
After Nick’s successful new year’s Sterkfontein trip it was quickly decided that the Baha Boys needed to get up to Africa’s premier sight fishing venue before the season ended. So after a quick look at our calendars we booked a long weekend in March and did the necessary planning – calculating how much booze to …
Giant’s Castle Valentines
Being a lover of anything fly fishing related, and having a wife who understands that (hopefully), we booked a cottage in the Giant’s Castle Nature Reserve for Valentines Day. Admittedly we’ve never really celebrated Valentines Day, but we are always looking for excuses to get outdoors and into the mountains. We left early on Saturday …
Cape Vidal (With NekNominations)
As I’m sure most of you have worked out by now, Cape Vidal is a bi-annual trip I do in conjunction with Baha Fly Fishing, the Durban Fly Tyers, and the South Coast Fly Anglers. This year we moved the first trip forward from April to February in the hope of picking up some bigger …
