One can say that trout fishing is virtually over until the weather cools down and water temperatures drop in autumn as it has been unseasonably hot and dry for over a month now. All flyfishing focus has been on Sterkfontein Dam where the hot weather is to the liking of the yellows. The Ash River Drift Fishery - https://www.flyfishing.co.za/pages/ash-river-drift-boat-trout where Mavungana has access to 10km is now closed for fishing as the outlet from Katse Dam which feeds this river is closed until March. Last month it was reported that some anglers who have access on other private land were catching large numbers as the fish are now concentrated in the pools. Lesotho At the Makhangoa Community Camp Keith Clover states that the Bokong River has been running well for the last month and the fishing is good as the river is full of migrating yellows which have moved up to spawn. Amongst these yellows is the odd trout.
