Amazingly the Wild Bird Trust asked me to publish a gallery of my bird photography on their website. As such the weekend was spent choosing a handful of my birding photos and publishing them to a small gallery. Then an amazing thing happened, National Geographic saw my gallery and chose one of my photos for their top 25 …
After a rather interesting DFT demo by Marco Breschi, our club’s bass expert, I had a chat with him and we decided to head down to Inanda Dam on Sunday morning for a little bass fishing (on fly of course). With my newly tied strip leech in hand, Nick picked me up, we met Marco …
I can’t believe that we’re half way through Sharon’s pregnancy already! Each scan seems to arrive faster than the one before, and I’m pretty sure baby girl Prior will be here before we blink an eye. It’s been an amazing 4 weeks since the last scan. Using Tarryn’s Doppler we heard our little girls heartbeat …
Having been up to Underberg earlier this year I was quick to accept another invitation to go up and fish a few of the UHTFC (Underberg Himeville Trout Fishing Club) waters. I put in a half day’s leave and met Neill at Plantations at 1pm. We promptly packed up the Jeep and were soon on …
After a few weekends at home Sharon and I were only too happy to accept an invite from Nick and Tarryn to head down to Port Edward for the weekend. The plan was to get in a little fishing and to generally relax and have a good time. But then I guess this is the …
It was time for our third scan (16 weeks), and another exciting scan at that. We were hoping to find out the sex of our baby but it all of course relied on how baby Prior was lying. As the machine blinked to life we eagerly watched the monitor as Dr Czarnocki wiggled his wand …
Thanks to a 60th birthday in Zimbabwe my uncle once again took to the skies and visited Sharon and I in Durban from the land down under. Unfortunately Sharon was unable to get leave on Friday so the day so it we couldn’t go away for the weekend. I climbed out of bed at the …
On Monday 1 October I had the pleasure of being the guest tier at the Durban Fly Tyer’s monthly meeting. Although I was originally asked to demonstrate a salt water fly I opted for something a little more intricate and exciting to tie. Since past flies had been aimed mainly at salt water fish, trout and …
Sunday was a fishing day and Baha Fly Fishing and the DFT organised a day morning’s outing to the Durban Harbour. There was an incredible turnout of aronud 20 fly fisherman and it was amazing to see the banks crowded with fly fisherman. Sadly the fishing wasn’t great, perhaps due to the dolphins playing directly …
Another long weekend and another trip to the Berg to dominate some wild browns and rainbows. Sadly my last minute booking meant Kamberg was he only venue available and I was forced to head there for the umpteenth time, which isn’t really a bad thing. Friends of ours were staying at Giants Castle (yes, I was jealous) …
