    Apparently 90% of Barkly and Rhodes inhabitants prefer yellowfish over trout. Baked or curried, they say it's delicious!

    Been there done that and almost had the scars to proof it, but in the meantime I cooled down(age tend to do that). This topic have been discussed at length on other threads and forums. Sometimes for you own health all you can do is walk away. It is obvious this individual knew he was wrong, and have to live with his actions. He probably have been through a heated debate with some other fly guy some time or another, heck he probably is looking for it.

    Phoning conservation is an option, but do not bet on it.

    We as fly anglers in this cast catch much more yellows than a baity, been proven. So at least he won't kill that many.

    What can you do, phone conservation, or walk away shaking your head.

    Knowing those spots very well u will always have baities there having the odd drink or two keeping fish in nets and armed with some or other coffee grinder or dog.

    He is allowed to keep 2 fish.For the rest u can't do anything about it.Once again maybe we should inform the venue owner and remind him of the legal catch limit and advice of possible legal or whatever action against him.

    You see...but I'm a bit different in this case. So here is my 20 000 zim$!

    Warren sun..yo bes defence on Vaal stream is yo wadding stic! (Meagi Sun)

    Entrance = R20.00

    meat and salads for the braai = R60.00
    travelling to your destination = R30.00 (guessing here)

    Surely you dont need to catch yellows for substance
    This place sounds like a controlled water because they have an entrance fee. Maybe a small deterant would be to have a couple of sign boards up stipulating the catch limits and saying offenders will be prosecuted, or at least banned from the water. I know it's not full proof but it's a start.

    He is about getting his R 20 entrance fee and nothing more, he will always tell you on arrival about the monster yellow that has been caught there just the previous day, and will never been seen anywhere close to the water.
