Wavies and Cappuccinos
Back before I had 2 children, in the days when my job was less time consuming, I used to often fish before (and after) work along the beaches of KwaZulu-Natal or in the Durban harbour. Those days now seem like a distant memory, although in truth it wasn’t all that long ago. This morning I …
Fly Fishing A Wintery Hella Hella
At 4am I was awoken by the sound of pouring rain which left me wondering if our trip to the Umkomaas was still on the cards. Thankfully as I lay there the downpour slowly abated and by the time I climbed out of bed there was just the slightest drizzle. I made a few rolls, …
The Boston Fly Fishing Festival 2016
“I can safely say that the Boston Fly Fishing Festival is by far my favourite festival.” Yes, it’s a line that I often start my annual Boston post with, but it remains true. And this year was no exception, despite what were very tough fishing conditions. We got off to a great start by entering …
Scalies On The Umkomaas
With Leo heading for the UK we decided to do one last outing with the fly sticks prior to his departure. Our chosen quarry was the Natal Yellowfish, aka the scaly, on the Umkomaas River just outside of Richmond. We had a great turnout with 6 of us making our way to Hella Hella via the mandatory …
Nitida Wines, Durbanville
During a recent trip to Cape Town we visited Nitida wine farm, Durbanville, for a quiet lunch with some friends and family. During the build up to our Cape visit we’d suggested that one of the activities we’d like to do was a lunch at a wine farm. Cassia was kind enough to put in the …
Villa Spa Camping
Some may say we’ve gotten a little soft since the departure of Nick and Tazz? But rather than admit that I’m going to blame our recent camping trip to Villa Spa on Sharon’s colleagues. Villa Spa is a 4 star campsite located at Illovo Beach, just outside of Amanzimtoti. There are several accommodation options ranging from chalets …
Halloween At Mac Nicol’s
As we headed to Mac Nicol’s for Halloween I realised that 2015 had fast become the year of Bazley. Being my third post on this campsite for the year I’m not going to go into too much detail about the venue itself. It’s classed as a 4 star caravan park and, although I don’t know what that …
Grunter Bashing!
Since I primarily fly fish (and spend some amount of time mocking bait fishermen), I’m not going to spend too much time describing (or justifying) my bait fishing outing. Suffice to say it was a great day on the water despite tough conditions, mostly due to strong winds. Fishing was tough with only a handful …
