Name: Duane Howell Phone: 0832286707 Duane Howell of the Underberg Flyfishing Shop reports that although the cold and snow of about 10 days ago had resulted in the fish moving into the deeper water of the UHTFC dams it had now warmed up; most fish were over mock spawning and were more active in shallower water. Fish caught were found to be full of snails and bloodworms and smaller flies were working well. All the club dams were open to fishing but it remained important to spray equipment and vehicles prior to entering private property to combat the threat of foot and mouth. The UHFTC Stillwater Festival sponsored by Xplorer commencing 14 September has already been fully booked by 15 teams of 2 anglers. The streams open again on September 1, and the flows have been boosted by the recent significant snowfall. Some good-sized fish have been observed in the streams. For more information, visit the club website at www.uhtfc.org.za, which has been updated to make water bookings easier.
