The other day I called the owner of a very nice piecs of water on the Vaal, with the objective of getting permission to fish his water next weekend. he is normally quite accomodating, but this time, had a few disturbing things to say about some fly fishers. he recently allowed a fly fisher access to his water for a very small fee, and found out that this person had taken guiding clients on his water for R1500.00 per day, per head, without his permission. I believe this to be totally unethical, and will lead to us having this water withdrawn from use. We need to be concious of the fact that we use other peoples property, and with the proliferation of our sport, we should be incresingly more considerate of how we use recources that do not belong to us. There are unfortunatly the few that are giving us all a bad reputation.
