DULLSTROOM

According to John Hunter at Village Angler this is certainly an excellent time to be on the still waters of Dullstroom. The weather is sunny and stable, the water temperature is about 14°C, there are good hatches mid- morning as it warms up and later in the afternoon and with another 25 ml rain falling last Friday all the streams and still waters are full and looking good. At the moment he is concentrating on surface feeders with very small flies, either dry or tiny nymphs. Apart from Little Troutbeck, Millstream has fished well. Over at the TFFC Middelpunt waters  (www.tffc.co.za) there have been regular stockings with good-sized rainbows which are producing good results.
