Fishing is picking up, as we expect this time of the year with cooling water temperatures and a full dam. A few fish are already feeding on the surface of this big dam and the fish have grasshoppers, beetles and daphnia in their stomachs. Earlier in the month we had a few flying ants. Green Bank and Doctors appeared to be the favourite fishing spots and red-eye damsels and nymphs have been the most popular flies. All the fish are in good condition and fighting well and the stockies are already from 20cm upwards. We have had no news from the other members about Maden or Mnyameni dams but assume they are both overflowing. Loch Lochy Margo Whyle at 0725220602 who handles the booking for this large dam (26 ha) on the western side of the Hogsback states that they reopened the dam for fishing on March 1 and they have had several parties visiting who have recorded good catches which is to be expected as the dam is well stocked and overflowing. They do recommend that anglers bring float tubes as the perimeter of the dam is well weeded.
