It was an absolute pleasure to have this group of champions back at the Makhangoa Community Camp to end off the year. Chesney, his uncle Peter (Uncs) and cousin, Trevor came up to the hills with their mates, Paul (Spank), Mork and Eugene. On their previous trip to the Bokong there was hardly any water...
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.
Dylan Oelefse joined us for a few days in the hills to see what all the fuss is about and he was pleasantly surprised by these special fish of the Bokong River. He has never caught yellowfish before so to say that he was keen to get off the mark

Over the last week the fishing in Lesotho was slow, with pressure of the summer drought is taking its toll on this world-class fishery. There is no need to sugar-coat it, conditions are very tough and without some serious changes in the weather, these conditions are unlikely to improve by the end of this season...
The most memorable fishing stories are often the ones where we have frightening encounters with Mother Nature and this story is just one of those. Well, it was one of those trips for Chris. He came up to Lesotho with his mates, Rob, Andrew, Gert, Peter and Jan in search of
Sometimes a fishing trip is just not long enough. I believe this was the case with Peter, James, Quintin, Jonathan, Andrew, Nic, Mike Wilson and Mike Blackbeard who came in for a weekend to the Makhangoa Community Camp. It was a trip of personal bests, ‘new species’ for some and
It was a pleasant sight when a couple of familiar faces rolled into camp. Uncle Colin and Mars made the long journey from Maclear and were joined by Jeff, Rodney and Andrew. These seasoned fly fishermen were in for a proper challenge on the fishing front, but they stepped up
