    Looking forward to it. Last time I was out on beat 5 with Chris Swanepoel. The guys on beat 4 got 1 fish between them and we landed 9. Hopefully tomorrow would look better

    Hi Renier

    I am a Vaalie, and I managed 12 on Holsloot beat 4 before the Nationals held in the WC, I am dead sure you should be fine.

    The Holsloot is fishing lekke now, I'm sure you'll catch your fair share of trout.

    Why? Aren't you planning to see any trout Grant? Just got strange looks from people in the complex... couldn't seem to understand why I was trying out a mono rig in the pool... idiots...

    Got there bright and early. Weather looked hostile - cloudy with a breeze from behind. First hour was quiet, no rises and a miss or 2. Sun came out, fish started rising and the day turned out a whole lot better. I landed 7 fish, lost at least 4(lost as in missed and 2 break offs), Renier landed another 4 fished and also missed a couple. Fished until 14:-ish and started the trek back to the car. Eish, it tough getting back to the road

    That is quite strange! We had good fishing in the morning and both had fish early on, but then it tapered off as the sun came out. John got 6 fish, all befor lunch, and I got 5 fish, with only 1 of them coming after lunch.

    There was quite a lot of freshly cut down trees, but these had been left in the damn water which made landing fish a bit more difficult!

    I tried to clear them out as we went, but gave up in the end.

    geez i was a bit hesitant to post anything, before we checked how some of you did. having tied some of grants flies from a previous post, we were keyed up. SB5.... first cast and nic is into a fish. we do the shout, the hi 5, and the
    " we gonna moer them today"
    i get one and miss 2, and feel i have to mention the miss..as, it makes me feel better. we saw a fish in a deep pool, we did everything we thought, and nothing more than a wag of the tail to come look and off it goes.
    we took 6 hours to finish our beat, in hindsight Andre said it is a short beat.....i think we scared or bored a crapload on sat. we had fun but it was damn difficult. we walked purposefully through what looked like good lies and never spooked a fish the whole day. please don't tell me you guys moered the fish?
