After meeting up with Dale and Matthew from Pretoria we made the slow and windy descent down to the Khubelu River. We made ourselves comfortable in basecamp for the night and after a nice hot meal we forced ourselves to sleep. A difficult task as the excitement built for the next day.
The first week had been very special – we had found areas with good numbers of bones, we had hooked and landed some exceptional milkies, GT’s, Bluefin, Bohar and had witnessed some of the finest triggerfishing anyone could comprehend. As soon as that week was winding down, we began watching the weather forecast like hawks...
We are more than confident that the Nubian Flats is the real deal, but in order to be in a position where we will be able to offer fully guided trips, we need to put in the ground work to ensure we understand the fishery properly before the 2015 season, and so I find myself...
A cold chill in the air, winds pushing clouds over the high Maluti mountains from the west and the smell of rain in the air, it was certain, the hot sunny days of summer were slowly but surely coming to an end! Nonetheless, the yellowfish were still around in good numbers and with five new...

Our group consisted of Murray Pedder from Flyfishers Unlimited and 4 of his guests namely Ken, Alan, Martin and Thys. On arrival of the guests the rain Gods had...
Finally after two weeks we can finally say it seems the river is back to its old self again! The water has slowed down and the level is nice and low with the temperatures back in the late teens. This really bode well for our next group of guys who came into camp on Thursday...
So after all the rain the previous week we were a little nervous to see how the fishing would be this week. The weather forecast showed that it has cleared up but when we drove up the Mafika Lisiui Pass, which by the way is the catchment area for our river, on our way to...
From hero to zero. Thats what it felt like when we arrived back from Katse in camp after collecting the new guests. A complete opposite of what we experienced the last couple weeks! One spectacular low pressure system moved into the area and rendered the river into a raging torrent of muddy water! Nonstop heavy...
