It was a week of hard squash for Sharon and I since we were both playing in the Kzn Closed squash champs. For me that meant a semi-final on Saturday morning and hopefully a final on Sunday. We arrived at the courts just before 10am and my opponent was already warming up with another player. …
Long weekends are not made to be wasted, and what better way to take advantage of one than by heading to Lotheni, one of my favourite (wild) brown trout waters. With Sharon as my wingman for this trip I decided to cut her some slack and to head up a little later than I usually …
Sunday morning was the much anticipated NFFC club day and I climbed out of bed at 5am. Nick met me at Plantations at 5:30am and we were soon joined by Hans who had requested to fish with us at Pump Dam. Hans was kind enough to offer to drive so we climbed into his Fortuna …
At 4am on Friday morning Nick pulled into the Plantations parking lot to pick me up for an epic long weekend at Cape Vidal. The Baha Boys had teamed up with the Durban Fly Tyers for a fly fishing trip that was certainly not to be forgotten. We vigorously packed the car and then headed …

All that needs to be done to them is to convert them into kinetic energy, which is exactly what Nick, Hayden and I did when we headed for the beach to do some salt water fly fishing. …
The weekend got off to a good start with a morning’s fishing at Inanda Dam. Nick picked me up and, after a quick stop at McDonalds, we headed for the water where we met up with Gavin and a mate of his. Things got off to a very interesting start when we spotted a spear …
Having played four league matches in a row I was feeling a little tender and in desperate need of a relaxing evening. Friday thankfully provided just that, so we turned down a few braai invitations and instead spent the evening relaxing on our couch. But rest is for the wicked and so I dragged myself …
