FOSAF FLYFISHING REPORTS - Saltwater - West Cape

Hermanus & Bot River lagoons.

Both lagoons are starting to close at the mouth and unless we have more heavy and unseasonal rain they will remain closed until at least next winter.

De Mond

This estuary is open, but the water is still discoloured after a very wet winter. On the other hand, I hear the rock and surf anglers with conventional tackle have done quite well with white steenbras and kob on the nearby coast.

Breede River

This estuary is in flood again after late rains throughout the catchment and will probably need another 2 – 3 weeks before it is fishable.
