Name: Jeff Asherwood Email: jeffasherwood@icloud.com Phone: 082 978 1098 The mouth of Lake St Lucia opened again, this time naturally, in early January. Heavy rain in the Mfolozi catchment and the lake itself up until late April has resulted in the mouth being kept open as water poured out from both the river and the lake itself. For flyfishers this has meant that the sea has been unfishable for at least 20km to the north as far as Vidal if southerly winds are blowing. However, with drier conditions setting in and north easters blowing flyfishing can now resume at Vidal and conditions are expected to improve gradually from now on. One of the problems is the large amount of litter that has come down the river and settled along the coast. In the meantime, 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/.
