Flyfishing report: Yellowfish - Lower Vaal & Orange

Lower Vaal.

Heavy flows are on there way from Bloemhof Dam, so we expect the lower Vaal to be unfishable for most of its length for some time.

Orange.

As seen from the photos below the river is still fishable in the Hopetown area although visibility is not as good as it was last month. The catches however, were as good as a month ago. The photos were taken when water was being released during the day to generate power hence the high flows.

Riet River.

The Riet River in it its upper section is very muddy, and I assume the same may apply to the same reaches downstream at Douglas.
