    Default Safety below Howick Falls

    Hey guys,

    I'm off on Thursday and Friday, and thought I might try for some Natal Scallies bellow Howick Falls in the Mgeni. This is in the nature reserve itself...can't remember the name...might be the Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve.

    I have fished there with my dad before, and had good success with no safetly issues. But I'm wondering if its safe alone?

    There was an article on it this month in one of the fly fishing magazines, but it didn't mention safety.

    Alternatively if anyone would like to join me?

    Thanks.
    Warren

    Hi Wazzy,

    Delboy has fished there. He carries a Glock and switchblade just in case.

    A good filleting knive should do the trick!

    Although, in all honesty, the most dangerous thing about fishing there is the walk in and out of that damn gorge!! The last time nearly killed me.

    Oh, look, the new Stealth......."

    I agree. The biggest threat is injuring yourself down there and then not able to get out or get someone to call for help. I wouldn't fish down there alone.
