With 2020 behind us and the new season commencing, the camp staff and guides were more than excited to welcome the first week’s guests. Upon arrival it was evident how much rain had fallen in the prior two weeks leading up to the first week. Katse Dam had risen dramatically consuming most of the lower...
It is pretty simple – sometimes the weather just does not play along. It’s enough to send some anglers spiralling into mild depression, others see it as an opportunity to try different techniques with the chance of being rewarded with a yellowfish or two. Our new group – Richard, Greg, Panda (Andrew), David, Colin and...
As fly anglers we are constantly setting goals for ourselves. Normally we begin with the usual challenge of learning to cast, followed by trying to catch a fish, and then tying your own flies(In whichever order). Conquering these goals keeps us interested and longing for more.One example would be Gordon van der Spuy. He is...

After a quick break for Christmas and New Year, we anxiously made our way back up the ‘hill’ and into Lesotho not sure what the start of 2020 will hold in store. When we had left, a few weeks earlier, the river was finally showing some potential, with a few yellows moving into the Bokong...

This week marked the first trek with guests to the higher section of the Bokong for the season. It would be the first time a lot of the fish have seen a fly in almost a year as we headed up higher than Brent and I did. We were lucky enough to be joined by...
Due to an unforeseen gap in our schedule, us guides were encouraged to do some exploring of new water as well as going twenty plus kilometers up river in order to prepare for the upcoming treks. We didn’t need to be asked twice as we do not get too many opportunities to fish
