I heard they've been having some rain up there in the past few days.

Morning All,
I'm heading to Barkly East early October (Work & Fishing). I heard that the Bok & Sterkspruit River levels are very low (poor rainfall). Is it at least fishable?
If not, are there any other options (for fishing) in the area?

The solution to any problem -- work, love, money, whatever -- is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach

Mario,
I'm glad it is still raing in Barkly East.
If possible give us feed back on the flow of the rivers & feed back on the fishing.

I'm going to be on the upper Bell this weekend, and maybe on the sterkspruit on Sunday, will be able to report back on Monday.
I fished the Upper bell over the weekend, the water levels are still very low. The sterkspruit was also very low, but the lower reaches has some good stretches that will produce quite good. If the region gets some rain between now and your trip the fishing will be easier. We took a couple of good fish, but in very low clear water. Its quite a chalenge at the moment, but very enjoyable, to me in any case. I would say prepare for low flows. Mario should be able to report back soon though, hopefully it rains a bit in the near future.
