Name: Horst Filter Phone: 082 628 7702 SE Mpumalanga. Horst once again confirms that all his rivers are in spate and will be unfishable for some time even though the spawning season is over. He also states that he will only take bookings for clients he guides from late May onwards. Regarding the mining problem the landowners in this part of the country now have a person working almost full time in opposing applications to mine coal. These are for most cases fraudulent applications for 1,5 ha plots which were originally reserved for sand or clay mines or road works and therefore the rigorous environmental studies required for coal and other minerals are not required for these applications. KZN. Last month we reported that most of the rivers in the yellowfish sections were in flood and with further rain it is even difficult to fish some of the trout rivers immediately above the yellowfish sections so these yellowfish rivers will be out of action for some time. All rivers from the Tugela and its tributaries are populated with Natal yellows and unlike the rivers further north which have largescale and smallscale yellows it is unusual for anglers to fish these rivers in winter until water temperatures warm again in Spring.
