The Xplorer UHTFC Festival 2017
Having hosted a very successful (inaugural) fly fishing festival in 2016, we (the UHTFC committee) decided to build on the event by hosting our second festival in 2017. We updated the format, extending the festival by a day to 2 days, and then threw in a formal dinner and braai. Although Neill and I were fishing in the …

Snow Hunting at Meadow Lane
Having had an immensely successful snow adventure 2 years ago (click here for the full report), we decided to give it another go when we heard that large falls were predicted over for the weekend.

Suffice to say it was a great day on the water despite tough conditions, mostly due to strong winds. Fishing was tough with only a handful …
Bait Fishing The Durban Harbour
On the odd occasion I down my fly rod and head out instead with a bait stick in hand. Sunday was one such day. Alan had invited me to join him on his trusty vessel to do a little grunter fishing in the harbour. Needing to pump some cracker we got to the harbour shortly after 9am, …
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 …
