Name: Jeff Asherwood Email: jeffasherwood@icloud.com Phone: 082 978 1098 I had two days in hospital last month to repair a torn tendon which was a 3-hour operation, but it is slowly recovering although I can now pedal my fat bike fairly easily. We know that there is a lot of water coming down the Umfolozi after heavy rains in Vryheid and the upper and mid catchment. Whether this will breach the mouth we still do not know as St Lucia is a vast lake and still needs to rise another meter. If the mouth does breach this will result in a dirty sea at a time when flyfishing has been very good in the bay. There have been lots of small kingfish (mainly Bigeye), lots of shad and good numbers of threadfin and smaller numbers of 3 spot pompano. Most of these fish have been caught on fly. If you are looking for tackle etc I now have a very well stocked shop in town. You can also get me at Fat Bike Fishing at https://www.facebook.com/fatbikefishing/.
