Name: Brian Clark Email: brianclark@telkomsa.net Phone: 082 537 3285 Our local flyfishing club, the Eastern Province Freshwater Fish Conservancy, manage two local trout dams, Upper Van Staden’s and Bulk River, in the PE/Gqeberha area. Upper van Stadens was stocked with 2000 large fingerlings in December, but the stocking of Bulk River was postponed because of the low level of the dam. We have now had good rain, but I have been unable to check the Bulk River dam level as the access road is still very wet. Hopefully the dam has now filled up and is ready for stocking. Note that one if you do not have a float tube one needs to use the club boat to fish Bulk River Dam adequately due to the steep incline along most of the perimeter. As we are now in the mid-summer period there is a club outing planned to fish for bass in the Sand River Dam. A formal club outing program will be published shortly. Please note that Robin Farrington has taken over as chairman of our club and is at 0832367848 or robin@pyschologistpe.co.za.
