After Nick’s successful new year’s Sterkfontein trip it was quickly decided that the Baha Boys needed to get up to Africa’s premier sight fishing venue before the season ended. So after a quick look at our calendars we booked a long weekend in March and did the necessary planning – calculating how much booze to …
Being a lover of anything fly fishing related, and having a wife who understands that (hopefully), we booked a cottage in the Giant’s Castle Nature Reserve for Valentines Day. Admittedly we’ve never really celebrated Valentines Day, but we are always looking for excuses to get outdoors and into the mountains. We left early on Saturday …
After a few days of fly fishing at Cape Vidal I was ready to review the Treadlite 16. It had served me well on the beach, carrying all my essentials for the 10km hikes on soft sand with fly rod in hand. So I sat down in front of my PC and popped onto the …
I seem to have developed a bad habit over the last few years whereby I justify that extra slice of pizza by putting in a few extra kilometers on the tar. It seems to be in the forefront of my mind after my annual January diet, aka the Warren Diet, which basically involves cutting out …
As I’m sure most of you have worked out by now, Cape Vidal is a bi-annual trip I do in conjunction with Baha Fly Fishing, the Durban Fly Tyers, and the South Coast Fly Anglers. This year we moved the first trip forward from April to February in the hope of picking up some bigger …
After a few weeks of bass bashing it was time to get ready for the upcoming trip to Cape Vidal. I therefore opted to join the south coast boys at one of their local beaches for a little fly fishing action in the surf. We arranged to meet at 6am which meant an early start …
For the third weekend in a row Nick and I headed down to Inanda Dam to do some fly fishing. This time however our plan was to focus on the filming of the trip rather than the fishing, in the hope of putting together a short video of Inanda Dam and the bass opportunities it …
For the second week in a row we headed down to Inanda Dam to target bass. Conditions were close to ideal thanks to the warm water, a decent cloud cover, and a slight breeze creating a gentle ripple on the surface. Nick was convinced that he’d been at a disadvantage on previous trips due to …
With Inanda fast becoming our most fished venue we decided to head down with a new objective in mind…to cover more water. We therefore left the float tubes at home and hitched up the boat, ready to explore the uncharted nooks and crannies of the dam (well, for us anyway). We launched the boat at …
After spending a weekend at The Hatchery we decided to stop off at the uShaka (Addington) Beach on the way home. It was Emma’s first real beach trip and she absolutely loved it. The only nervous person was Sharon due to the piles of bluebottles being washed up on the shore. Pictures are worth a …
