Pristine rivers/streams in Mpumalanga
Hi guys,
I have had this real strong urge since I started fly fishing 15 years ago, to fish a pristine stretch of a river or stream like you capetonians have. Sadly due to the state of our rivers and streams in my area (Middelburg), this urge or lets call it a dream has never materialized.
I long to fish a stretch of a river or stream, using dry flies (cause thats the dream).
So this thread has a dual purpose:
1. To find out of possible rivers and streams to fish in that is healthy.
2. To get ideas as to what equipment will be best suited for this venture.
Now the species to target do not matter, what matters most is the soul cleansing scenery in which these species live. Be it yellows, browns or rainbows even bass as long as you can get your feet wet wading (read hunting) to get within casting range.
See it's all about the pursuit, it's the journey that counts. I no longer feel the need to catch xxxx amout of fish, but rather to enjoy the quality of nature with the fishing being a bonus.
Cheers
George
