Name: Duane Howell Phone: 0832286707 Duane Howell of the Underberg Flyfishing Shop, who has been appointed by the Underberg Himeville Trout Fishing Club as the contact person for these monthly reports, states that normally this is a quiet time of the year for trout fishing because of high water temperatures. However, this year they have had to consider the serious threat of foot and mouth disease. Many of the club managed dams are on dairy farms which tend to be the worst affected livestock farms, and which members and visitors must drive through to access the waters. Many of these have therefore been closed. Also note that the road up to the Cobham Nature Reserve has been closed. In addition, the club has postponed the planning of any flyfishing festivals for the time being. Other club news may be gained from the club website at at https://www.uhtfc.org.za/.
