Retying The Foul Hook Award
Nick and I won the Durban Fly Tyers Foul Hook award in 2013. This meant re-tying the giant fly for the 2014 winner. I took on the challenge and put together a large popper with the help of his injured wife.
A Weekend At KarMichael, Himeville
A few friends and our families headed to Underberg for a relaxing weekend at KarMichael Guest Farm, located on the outskirts of Himeville.
