Name: Capt. Louis Day Email: louis@hermanus.co.za Phone: 082 555 8317 Louis states that there will be no flyfishing in the local estuaries for some time. Both mouths of the Bot River lagoon are now open, Hermanus lagoon breached a short while ago and is flowing strongly, De Mond near Struisbaai is now dirty and of course the Breede flooded with jetties, boats and large items swept away from further up the catchment. It has rained again over the last couple of days, which has not helped and although it is now clearing a repeat of the flooding of the Garden Route and Eastern Cape coastal areas will probably take place now. Conventional tackle anglers who have been out on the rocks have taken a few galjoen and steenbras and some of the boats off Cape Point have caught really large (60kg to 80kg) yellowfin tuna on conventional tackle.
