    Does not look like it will, but at this stage even flooding will be water at least.

    Good news is that the Bok, Rifle and Sterk is running well. It has been raining nicely for 2 days there, and the area is benefitting a LOT from this. We need to remember, fishing is a sideline at the moment, many farmers were in the brink of losing a lot of livestock. We are very glad for this rain, for fishing too, but not only.

    That is cool news. I know that feeling, growing up in Phalaborwa which is on the border of the Kruger Park, when below average rainfall hammerd the park and the animals, especially in the early 90's, we quickly learnt never to moan about rain, that is for sure.

    Been raining on-and-off. Rivers are flowing well enough again for now.

    Are there any fishing reports that you are aware of Mario. Would be interesting to see if the yellows have moved up since the rain started.
