Name: Horst Filter Phone: 082 628 7702 SE Mpumalanga. Horst has still to start his season in earnest. He has been out with a friend on the Assegai and found it flowing strongly and still a bit dirty. The Phongola is also flowing strongly but clearing nicely at last. This is a very late start to the main season but the catchment area for his rivers is very wet this year after the late autumn rains so Horst reckons they will only be ready in a week and a half. KZN. Michael Aadensgaard (0716735927) in southern KZN reports that the Umkomaas looks perfect and is crystal clear. With the onset of much cooler days and dropping water temperatures the Natal yellows are dropping out of the shallows into the deeper water. Compared to the prime time of late September you will not catch as many fish, but it is still worth a try. We also suggest with the threat of Foot & Mouth Disease anglers should always phone ahead and check with stock farmers whether any precautions should be taken before visiting a property.
