Wow, I can’t believe that the end of this awesome exploratory season is almost upon us. Looking back we have covered so many new areas, learnt an incredible amount, made some great new friends and above all had some world class fishing. This week we have earmarked a couple new areas, in a combination with...
After a good three week break back home in South Africa, tying flies and spending endless hours poring over maps, we made our way back to Sudan for the second stint of exploration on the Nubain Flats. I was heading up a week early to accompany the mother ship as it made its way to...
With amazing weather forecast and this being the fourth week of our exploratory season on the Nubian flats, everything pointed to a killer week.
