SE Mpumalanga.

Horst will only resume yellowfishing when the spawning season comes to an end which is about March 2025 and when the local rivers clear which is usually about April/May. In the meantime, there is some good bass and tilapia fishing in the farm dams in the area.

KZN.

Most of the Natal yellowfish (scaly) stretches below the trout zone are now too discoloured for flyfishing as the summer rains have set in. Michael Ardensgaard says the Umkomaaas fished well up to the start of the rains but is now very dirty and needs about 2 weeks of dry weather before fishing can resume.
