Fished Vaal on Saturday. Flow was suprisingly high for this time of year (25cms) but I have noted they have dropped it again to 15cms. Water had a stained brownish colour, and viz was anything between 15-20cm depending flow and substructure. Water temp I guestimated to be between 13-14C. Fished with breathables. Got 5 smallies, between 1-2 kg in mostly meter deep glides and riffles, shallower and faster water had no takes as yet. Massive mafly hatch late afternoon. Barbel also on the prowl. Think about 2-3weeks time fishing would improve, but one cannot overlook influence of full moon on this weekends fishing.

Flyfishing for yellows...the most fun a man can have, with his clothes on, while standing up, holding a bar of gold in your hands.
