As the halfway mark through our season neared, the guides were in high spirits for the coming week as the conditions were looking pristine! The clarity had certainly improved despite the constant, weekly, fluctuations. Initially the week started slowly with fish sitting deep, reluctant to commit. As the week progressed, we noticed the fish eating...
The fifth week of the 2021 Kalahari season saw a full week of 30 degree plus days with only one afternoon of wind which made for absolute ideal conditions. The water temperature increased by the day, as well as the clarity, improving from a dirty brown to more of a dark green. The drift started...
A mixture of old and new, with returning guest, Randy and new clients Myrium and Nerravid from Spain, it was time to once again hit the water, starting on the Mynera. It didn’t take long for the action to take place as weather conditions were favourable. Randy’s first fish of the trip was a 19lb...
The fourth drift of the 2021 Kalahari season saw the best weather yet. Hot windless days was a nice break from the previous weeks bitterly cold conditions. With the rising temperatures and stable water levels, the clarity of the river also improved considerably. We saw more largemouth yellowfish moving out of the deep-slow moving pools...
With the first group of the season inbound after building a new camp and getting through all that Corona has to offer around the globe, we were sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for our new guests to arrive. Christian, Sarah and their ten-year-old son Hico, from Brazil, had made their way across...
The 20th of August marked the end of our third wilderness Kalahari drift and a spectacular week it was. Our third drift saw the first consistent water levels of the season with the river dropping consistently throughout the course of the week. We started seeing the river clear up far more than the previous weeks....
The second week of the 2021 Kalahari saw similar conditions to that of the first drift regarding the cold water and low visibility. Water levels were fluctuating daily due to water release from the dams upriver, this made it tricky, because just as the water would clear up a little, the water would rise again...
The opening week of the Kalahari 2021 season set off to a fantastic start despite the slow fishing. The cold, relatively high-water level and considerably lower visibility, compared to that of the previous season, due to floods earlier in the summer certainly contributed largely to the slow fishing. The order of the trip was to...
The 2021 season on the Nubian Flats has been one to remember for a number of reasons. Being able to operate a smooth season, post pandemic, has given us the confirmation that our plans for the Nubian Flats in the future are on course and are something to be very excited about. The last trip...
Week 8 saw the guys welcoming back X-Factor angling for the second time this season. Their first trip with us was in the North on the coastal flats chasing trophy triggerfish. Despite the extreme weather they were able to land some truly magnificent fish, however, it was time for them to experience the South with...
