    Default Orange LM Hunt TR'S

    Hopefully some of the others that joined us on the trip will add some more pics and their insights on this thread. Here's a short version:

    Friday was very though, Eskom kept the turbines running the whole day even though their technician said the turbines will be closed as from 13H00. Needless to say the guys all blanked (325 cumecs is high if they keep it that way).

    Luckily we had a great evening at camp and the guys managed to lift their spirits (pun intended).


    We had some Oxtail.


    and a fines meeting.

    The next morning started early.


    Mr Ponchos made it harder for some to get out early than for others.


    We fished some really low flows on Saturday and managed to stay with the low water for the whole day.


    We found lots of bait fish. Some guys got strikes, others had LM follow their flies, but none got landed.

    We saw some amazing scenery and skies.



    We arrived at camp just before sunset.


    Had some good food

    Judge Klaas had to fine quit a couple of accused anglers.

    The top one was a three spotted barb, you can't see the spots on the pic, but they were there. The second one, I'm not sure of.

    We also saw a lot of Mudie juveniles. Check out the pic bellow. Should help you tie up a couple of imitations.

    Dankie man! Waar kry jy hulle? Vang jy hulle met 'n net langs die kante of wat?

    Dit is maar baie soos by die see met die water se vloei wat so baie verander, die vissies word getrap in poele, so dit is maklik om hulle te vang. Bryan en Barend het hierdie gevang, ek het net die fotos geneem. Barend het nog 'n klein LM ook so in die hande gekry, die was ongelukig reeds dood.

    Hulle het dood gevries en dan tel jy hulle sommer op as hulle verby float

    Blame dit op die koue en die Ponchos - bloody amateurs if you asked me
