Who would have thought that a group of septuagenarians could compete for the group of guests with the most gees for the Bokong season? They arrived in camp full of smiles, introducing themselves by their schoolyard nicknames and immediately began setting up rods for a quick late-afternoon and evening session in the sparkling clean water...
“Davieeee, howzit boet, listen here, how is the river looking right now?”, screeches my phone with the war cry of an impending visit from the feather mechanic. “Bru, it’s flippen insane right now.

Our first self-catered group arrived at camp full of festivities and laughter. Some of the guys were eager to get onto the water with their float tubes immediately, while the rest decided to sit back and enjoyed the scenery with a cold Maluti beer and ease into the weekend’s fishing. The anglers who went out, were...
Today marked another stationary donation to the Makhangoa community school. It is incredible to see all the kids back at school now, which only started on the 6th of April 2021. The kids have been without an education for over a year due to covid 19, the reason being that remote rural schools such as...
