The weekend got off to an early and exciting start when I left the office at lunch time. The UHTFC (Underberg Himeville Trout Fishing Club) had been kind enough to invite me up to their waters for the weekend to see just what the club had to offer. It was an opportunity I certainly couldn’t …
With my wedding out of the way it was time to move on to the multitude of other weddings on the cards. This meant heading to Joburg for Brian’s bulls party, an event definitely not to be missed. But let me not get ahead of myself. On Friday night, before heading to Joburg, Sharon and …
Long weekends are not made to be wasted, and what better way to take advantage of one than by heading to Lotheni, one of my favourite (wild) brown trout waters. With Sharon as my wingman for this trip I decided to cut her some slack and to head up a little later than I usually …
At 4am on Friday morning Nick pulled into the Plantations parking lot to pick me up for an epic long weekend at Cape Vidal. The Baha Boys had teamed up with the Durban Fly Tyers for a fly fishing trip that was certainly not to be forgotten. We vigorously packed the car and then headed …

After freshening up we climbed into the car and headed over to my mom’s house where we had a quick breakfast and then got down to opening presents. Sharon spoiled me immensely with a beautiful telescope for our trip to Mkhuze. Sadly …
Long weekends are made to be taken advantage of and this particular one was no exception. With Friday being a public holiday I’d agreed to monitor the stocking of several NFFC waters by Bushman’s River Trout. So at 6am Sharon and I took a leisurely drive to the Giant’s Castle area where we met John. …
Sharon picked me up from the office at 4 and we headed straight for Underberg stopping only to grab some KFC for dinner. The weather was miserable with thick mist and heavy rain. Thankfully there wasn’t much traffic on the roads, especially after we’d passed through Hillcrest. That said, driving my ‘favourite’ road in the …
