Midmar Bass Bashing

Launching At Midmar

Amazingly it had been 8 years since Nick and I last visited (and camped) at Midmar Dam in the Kzn Midlands. Yes, it’s not as scenic as the mountains and bass are not as fondly thought of as trout by most fly fisherman; but we’re not most fly fisherman! So when [...]

Inanda Dam Bass Bashing

Warren With A Bass

After a rather interesting DFT demo by Marco Breschi, our club’s bass expert, I had a chat with him and we decided to head down to Inanda Dam on Sunday morning for a little bass fishing (on fly of course).

With my newly tied strip leech in hand, Nick picked me [...]

Glengarry

The Little Mooi At Glengarry, Kamberg

Things got off to a ropey start when Sharon woke up sick at 3am. “This can’t be good,” the fisherman in me thought. Thankfully after taking a few pills she climbed back into bed and we managed to doze for another hour or so until we climbed out [...]

Nick’s Day Of Domination

Nick Testing Float Tubes

The weekend got off to a good start with a morning’s fishing at Inanda Dam. Nick picked me up and, after a quick stop at McDonalds, we headed for the water where we met up with Gavin and a mate of his.

Things got off to a very interesting start [...]

Inanda Dam Video

After much umming and ahhing I finally invested in a GoPro (with a big thank you to my wife Sharon since it was basically my Christmas present). Take a look at my first usage of it; a fishing trip to Inanda Dam.

The New Baha Vessel

A Tiny Largemouth Bass

Sunday started off with a little admin as I helped Nick patch up a few holes on his newly acquired boat. This was of course all worth it as we hooked it up to the Jeep and headed down to Inanda Dam to make sure it didn’t sink. This did [...]

Shongweni Dam Fail

Shongweni Dam, Kzn

For the first fishing trip of the year Nick and I found ourselves at Shongweni Dam. Personally I would’ve preferred Inanda but the general consensus was that Shongweni would be far less busy on the second day of the year.

Sharon and I arrived first, just before 9am, and were greeted [...]

Inanda Dam Bass Bashing

Nick Fly Fishing Inanda Dam

Since Nick was working on Sunday we decided to have a fish on Saturday morning. Rather than head to the berg we tried something new and headed down to Inanda dam to bash some bass. Nick picked me up at 7am which was a nice change from the normal [...]

Exploring Inanda Dam

This week I decided I’d explore some of the local water, rather than hitting the salt. So when Saturday morning arrived I grabbed my 5 weight, and headed down to Inanada Dam to try and pick up a few Bass.

I’d fished the dam once before with Nick, and we’d managed to pull out a [...]
