Eiiisssshhhh, will Rand Water ever play "open cards" with us. Ferdie and I decided to fish below the dam on Sunday, hoping that Saterdays increase would have some effect. Well on arrival we immediately noticed the water level was quite a bit higher than normal but carried on anyway. We soon found out why, when the first canoe came whizzing past within 5metres of Ferdie, who thankfully was "parked" on a rock at this stage!
After an hour or so of canoes being banged against rocks, Ferdie having to time his wade back to the bank so as to avoid being run over, the canoists were gone.
Guess what, an hour after the last canoe had passed us the water levels started dropping
I checked the daily report today and found: Vaal dam Release Sunday 35cumecs, Barrage max Sunday 25 cumecs, Barrage at 7:00am Monday 25 cumecs, conductivity change at Barrage NIL.
Vall Dam release Monday 20 cumecs ( normal ).
Time for us to get some serious BIG WHIG at Rand Water into flyfishing, if he's got time to spqare from Canoing of course
