    Default Umzimkulu River producing some very nice yellows.

    Me and a mate headed to a spot on one of the local farms in our area. I was really chuffed to catch my first Natal Scaly on fly. Lots of fish activity in each run we fished. Definitely heading back to this spot soon. If you are in KZN and want to check out this scenic spot let me know.

    There is some really nice accommodation there too that overlooks this spectacular gorge and is powered by a turbine system the farmer has installed. Really special place.

    Here are a few pics of fish caught there a week or so ago:
