Yellows on vaal after first rains

[mnm]

Hi anyone with any experience or info on fishing vaal after the first rains. Does the fishing go better or maybe go worse?

Just a thought

Generally better. It depends on the flow rates afterwards. If the rains are heavy and the flow goes up a lot then that can obviously prevent you fishing for a few days. Normally the first rains bring in some fresh water (depending where the water sources are) and can give the river a bit of a flush. Either way I prefer fishing after the first rains if possible.

Makes sense. I was at parys side about 2 weeks back and over the weekend i found the water level did rise and also there was a lot of grass coming down making it difficult to fish but the fish where still active. I wonder if anyone also experienced that on the vaal and is it better now.
