Name: Duane Howell Phone: 0832286707 Duane Howell of the Underberg Flyfishing Shop reports that the fishing kicked off well when the river season opened on September 1 with anglers taking loads of fish on dry flies. Recent substantial rains with over 100 ml being recorded in 36 hours washed out the lower stretches below the town which are still discoloured. The upper reaches of the streams will be fishable by tomorrow and the middle reaches in about 2 days. With the water warming the catches in the dams have improved and a couple of 60 cm fish have been netted. Following the rains several of the 16 UHTFC dams are a bit brown but certainly fishable. The UHFTC Stillwater Festival sponsored by Xplorer has already been fully booked by 15 teams of 2 anglers and will commence this coming weekend. For more information, visit the club website at www.uhtfc.org.za, which has been updated to make water bookings easier.
