So dam was down 12m as measured at the wall. We navigated up about 30km and started getting into dirty water. Fishing seemed better in the cleaner water, so we stayed in the cleaner water for the rest of the trip. Plenty of largemouths seen the first day, but only landed one on a bass popper. Lot's of follows, but no takers. Changing flies constantly. Smallmouths were very sporting, sight fished for them with a foam cricket and caught lots. Second day we didn't see largemouths roaming about, but caught two small ones on nymphs. Was my first trip there and will definitely go again! PS - the wind gets up there and the water gets rough! Lost my favourite 4 wt on the bumpy ride in "Grootwater" going back. Boat with high free board or wet decks is a must.
