Name: Brian Clark Email: brianclark@telkomsa.net Phone: 082 537 3285 Sadly, all the planned outings starting with the Thrift on 18 to 20 Sept until Upper van Staden’s Dam on Oct 31 have had to be cancelled due to bad weather and the shocking state of the access roads due to the continual and sometimes heavy rains over the last month. Our club, the Eastern Province Freshwater Fish Conservancy, is also concerned that large numbers of trout may have been washed downstream from the Bulk River and Upper Van Staden’s dams. Even reaching the Sand River Dam for a bit of bass fishing will be a challenge now unless one has a reliable 4 x 4. The club hopes the trip to Settlers Dam, scheduled for 27–29 November, will go ahead. The committee will meet this week to discuss alternative club outings. Note that the FOSAF Eastern Cape AGM will now be held at the AFFC clubhouse at Gubu Dam on 14/11/2026.
