I had an interesting conversation with some forum members on Saturday regarding the fishing so far this year. It seems that everyone (except Rory) is catching bucket loads of fish this season.

The last two season the river was in flood and the fishing was poor to say the least. However, the two years before the floods the fishing also was not as good as this year.

Has the floods of the last two years been good for the Vaal river? Is it because there was less fishing pressure? Did the river get a good flush - and sommer killed all the sick and old fish.

Maybe what we need now are some more floods
