Our fifth group of the season had very technical fishing in skinny water and pumping winds, but the fish were obliging and the results were good. Darren and James made the long journey from Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania to take on the yellows of the Lesotho highlands. They were joined by cChappie and his son Nic,...

Pieter Taljaard hosted the first Vagabond Fly Mag trip of the season. It was a proper full house as we had eight rabid fly anglers in the camp. Dave (Davo) and his mate patric (Trev) had fished with us before on several occasions and it was a treat to welcome them back.

After a last minute cancellation on arrival day of two due guests, Steve and Vyvyen found themselves with the same happy conundrum that faced our previous guests, with one difference. Not only did they have both rivers and camps to themselves for the week, they also had four

30km of Mnyera River and about 60km of Ruhudji were the exclusive property of just two anglers that made up the third week of the 2016 season. It was great to be able to catch up again with Tim who had fished with us two years ago, and also a pleasure to welcome Allan, who...

The life of a fly fishing guide is very often filled with moments of crisis control. Jan and Hagen’s trip was one of those times of crisis. First off, Lionel’s boat which had been niggling with starter issues for a few weeks finally decided to take early retirement from guiding

The best summary of the events of the second week of the Tanzania Tigerfishing season of 2016 was the ‘back to school, end of holiday’ feeling amongst the guides as we packed our four clients onto their departing charter plane. Thankfully there is never much time to mope around
