    Speak to Shaun Futter, Elizevh, and Huckfin.
    Which reminds me Huckfin has been very quiet. You holding out on us laddie???
    It's not in the catching, it's in the learning something new.

    Hi PesVis

    I have recently caught Scaly in the Mooi, in fact on 2 January 2008. It had not rained for a while so the water was not muddy but rather a gingerbeer colour. Seeing that you are doing the Midmar mile you are at the correct spot anyway!!! At the inlet to the Dam, Umgeni River, it is one of the best spots for Scaly, ask around it is know as the "Cascades". You need to get to the river as it enters Midmar Dam, so it is outside the Midmar reserve. Just monitor the rains (has been raining here all week!!) as the water cann get very dirty. If it does not rain for 10 days, the water may be fishable. I will try & get you some road numbers & better directions, I never take note of these.

    Cheers
