Fishing in the Cape – December 2011

  Ok so in December we took a bit of time off and of course managed to fish a few spots in and around Cape town. Doordekraal First up was Doordekraal where  we enjoyed a great afternoons fishing with some nice fish being caught mostly on the wacky rig. Rob fishing hard and gets rewarded. [...]

Go remote – Clanwilliam 15-17 November 2011

Ok so it’s not remote  as in “its safe to fish kaalgat” but considering not many people fish the sections we went to, it qualifies. We had to put our new Froggy V-Craft Mudbug Float Tube through its paces and there is no better place to do it than on Clanwilliam. So we organised our [...]

Clanwilliam 13-14 Oct 2011

Fish while the fishing is on… Sounds great but not very practical. Due to commitments it is rarely possible to do this let alone take a mid week break, but after all the wicked reports coming out of Clanwilliam these past two weeks I just had to make a plan. We’ve been wanting to float [...]

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 [...]

Clanwilliam – 17-19 October 2008

Went to Clanwilliam this weekend for our anniversary. Having recently moved to the cape after spending 30 odd years in JHB and all I can say is Gauteng sucks.  We used to flyfish for yellows on the Vaal river and although the Vaal has its on special beauty the journey there was pretty stale, kind [...]
