After a week of nervous weather watching our day of departure for Lesotho arrived and, as expected, it was raining. The four of us climbed in the Jeep and began the three hour journey that would take us up Sani Pass and into the Mountain Kingdom. Although none of us were new to fishing in …
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 …
With Friday being my birthday we decided to head to Imfolozi for a weekend in the bush. Why I didn’t take the Friday off I’m not sure? None the less, Sharon picked me up from the office at around 3:30pm and we began the journey to the gate. After fighting through the Friday afternoon traffic …
Having been up to Underberg earlier this year I was quick to accept another invitation to go up and fish a few of the UHTFC (Underberg Himeville Trout Fishing Club) waters. I put in a half day’s leave and met Neill at Plantations at 1pm. We promptly packed up the Jeep and were soon on …
After a few weekends at home Sharon and I were only too happy to accept an invite from Nick and Tarryn to head down to Port Edward for the weekend. The plan was to get in a little fishing and to generally relax and have a good time. But then I guess this is the …
Another long weekend and another trip to the Berg to dominate some wild browns and rainbows. Sadly my last minute booking meant Kamberg was he only venue available and I was forced to head there for the umpteenth time, which isn’t really a bad thing. Friends of ours were staying at Giants Castle (yes, I was jealous) …
After the success of the first Cape Vidal trip in April we headed back, this time with 14 fly fishermen from Team Baha, the DFT and South Coast Fly Anglers, to try our luck yet again. Nick picked me up just before 4am and we quickly passed Jan and Gavin on Fields Hill as if …
For my mom’s 60th birthday we put together a long weekend at Nselweni Bush Lodge with 13 of her closest friends and family. With the bush being her favourite place it made absolute sense that this was where she should celebrate this special event. At 4am on Friday morning Sharon and I picked up my …
Since Sharon’s birthday fell on a Monday this year we decided to make use of the weekend prior to head out into the bush. Sadly, due to a mountain bike race in Imfolozi, there was no accommodation available in the park. As such we booked into a small private lodge in Kuleni Game Park called …
