What a co-incidence! Most of mine go INTO the stream!!!

Mine are fairly complex sandwiches, so I'd have to carry a whole extra bag to prep them on the river....I make them before, but have a particular way of making them so nothing gets soggy.

Here goes:

Slice of fresh Bread, thick sliced.
Good dollop of German Mustard
Healthy portion of German Salami
Thinly sliced Tomato
Sliced Lemon and Pepper Chicken Breast
Grated cheddar
Baby Spinach
Slice of fresh Bread, thick Sliced

I make at least 4 of these ( I usually make lunch for whoever I'm fishing with. Neal take note!!!

)

In that order of preparation, they stay just perfect for nearly 24 hours and at around 11 or 12 on a fishing morning, I can tell you few things taste better!!

I also make at least one sweet one with a nice home made fig jam, or something similar

Add to that a muesli bar or two, a naartjie or 3, some fresh coffee in two flasks ( small one for the river, and a bigger one left in the truck

) A hydration pack filled with Naartjie game and a bag of biltong....... Even if you don't see a gfish all day, you'll at least come home satisfied!!

Let me tell you, I have fished with Nepps, and he is most definitely lying. I didn't even see a crust all day...

Best meal I ever had was at Vermaasdrif camp on the Vaal back in the day. I had met 'n little thing from Orkney at the camp and we just paddled around in her dad's red canoe. Lunch was impromptu on a reeded island, delicious and zero calories!

Sies, better make sure SWAMBO doesn't have access to this forum.

Did I really just use the term SWAMBO ?

Where is my decaff !

hehe.......................hmmmmmmmmmmm (long sigh) The joys of Spring and being young. Damn, there's nothing to beat that impromptu stuff! I am sure Chris Williams agrees with me

Right on!, ol' man!!!

Got you all beat! Best is a chicken mayo and rocket ciabatta, with a bit of wholegrain mustard mixed into the mayo. But use the sushi mayo!! OH MY GOSH!! And the best thing is it will last for a good couple of hours!

I must say though, the best bankside lunch i ever had was on the breede river! We kicked over a big rock a gorged ourselves on fresh oysters the size of a small child!! The actual muscle was difficult to fit into your mouth in one go!!

Here's a nice way of cooking your catch. Ingredients; a freshly caught trout or bass, 13 layers of newspaper, olive oil, freshly sliced lemon slivers, fresh sprigs of basil. Prepare a good bed of coals. Lay the fish ontop of the newspaper, sprinkle liberally with the olive oil, stuff the basil inside the cavity, lightly season, and layer the outsides with the lemon slivers. Then wrap in the newspaper and wet the whole parcel thoroughly. Place directly onto the coals and leave for 20 minutes or so. The outer paper will smolder and even catch alight here and there. Don't let this concern you, it won't burn through. After the 20 minutes, turn the whole parcel around for another 20 minutes and then remove from the coals. What you will land up with after stripping off the layers of paper is the softest, juiciest, light smokey flavoured fish, a meal fit for a king!

As long as it's not Die Volksblad!! That is so full of *** that nothing can taste good after being cooked in that.
