“No ways! I have a reputation to protect!“ – Lakensvlei 19-21 Aug 2011

The words my Jozi friend Kenneth spat at us with contempt as he watched us Capies hammer the fish on top water fly on Saturday evening…… more about that later. Winter in the Cape means pretty lean fishing to say the least. I usually pass the time preparing for our annual trip to Lakensvlei  just [...]

Doordekraal – Western Cape

Eish, I’ve really debated about sharing this venue so publically, but hey I’m not really a “check my nice fish I caught at my super secret and private venue, sorry you can’t fish there unless you are special” kind of guy. Ha ha, I’m just joking, there is nothing wrong with having a private venue [...]

Vaalvlei – Western Cape

Nestled in the foothills of the Kleinriver Mountains in the Overberg lies a little piece of trout fishing paradise.  Two clear spring fed lakes hold a variety of exciting quarry you can stalk, including  healthy and sizable rainbow trout, brown trout,  largemouth bass, blue gill and tilapia. Float tubes and waders welcome and barbless hooks [...]

The Great Breede Blank

The Breede River in the Western Cape is one of the best Float Tube rivers in South Africa. There is roughly 300 odd kilometers of water to fish, having said that I wouldn’t float tube within 100km of the river mouth due to copious amounts of Bull Sharks that stalk these waters. How could they [...]

Bass on Fly

Wow, another epic video. Bassing on Fly. I particularly enjoyed the dude riding a moped with his Float Tube attached to his back. Outstanding cinematography.  

MOFAM – 02 May 2011

So we shot off to Mofam yesterday and despite the weather it turned out to be an awesome day. We got there at 630am and the north wester was howling. Cold front was due to hit in an hour or so. Fortunately it died down and we only had to deal with regular gusts. We [...]

Tapam the Movie – Giant Tarpon on Float Tubes

A movie that will get you leaving your wife and kids for 3 months exploring exotic locations, targeting giant fish off your FLOAT TUBE no less. An outstanding example of the lengths you can go to with your float tube. There are practically no limits. I have ordered my Blue Ray version of this movie,  [...]

Large Trout on Topwater Fly

Simply inspirational. Watching trout rise to well presented flies is painful to watch. Enjoy it    

CPS Update – 14 April 2011

Latest news from the CPS I am not entirely sure where the last week went to, certainly they seem to be speeding by and it isn’t because I have been spending all my time fishing that’s for sure. Having said that, there was fishing to be had out at Lakensvlei over the past weekend but [...]
