Email: caryaj@xsinet.co.za Phone: 076 3120417 The recent heavy rains in KZN have had an adverse effect on local fishing in general and on fly fishing in particular. All the major rivers are still running very strongly and will continue to do so for quite a while, and so scaly fishing in the Umzimkulu will have to wait for improved conditions. The sea is still discoloured in the proximity of these rivers and the slightest rough surf along the coast, brings the deposited silt to the surface. Farm dams have also not been spared and a recent bass outing to a local dam by members of South Coast Fly Anglers (SCFA,) produced less than one fish per angler. All is not doom and gloom on the angling calendar because, although East Griqualand has also received copious rains, the rivers have not been adversely affected to a great extent and two members of SCFA caught 15 trout each over a 3- hour period recently. These fish ranged from 30 cm to 42 cm in length and were in excellent condition. SCFA Club events for the next month are:
