Sharon and I woke up on Saturday morning, relaxed in bed with our daughter for a while, and then realised that simply wasn’t going to cut it. We needed some excitement… So we quickly packed our bags, jumped into the car, and headed for The Prawn Shak. On route we phoned The Hatchery to confirm …
Being such keen fly fisherman there is simply no other way to spend the first day of the new year than on the water. And with Nick up at Sterkfontein Dam dominating the yellows I decided that my best option would be to take the family down to one of the local bass dams for …
