Name: Peter Arderne Email: mwardern@mweb.co.za Phone: 0118823051 DULLSTROOM. John Hunter at the Village Angler says they have had tons of rain since the February report, the waters are starting to cool down and it should be a great late autumn/early winter season on the many stillwaters of the district. Dries are working well already and so are the dry/small nymph combinations. For dry flies, caddis and hoppers are favourites. It has been a quiet period with not many visitors at present which is just as well as the rains have done no favours to the district’s dirt roads so driving them will become easier once the drier weather of late autumn sets in. John Thoabala of Mavungana is not available, but we know that the Laverpa day-ticket close to town are well stocked. Note that the Mavungana trophy dam at Birds of Prey is closed until the onset of cool early winter weather. The TFFC waters at the Middelpunt farm (www.tffc.co.za) will be comprehensively stocked next week. SABIE Werner Wessels, chairman of the club at (sabietrout@gmail.com) states that the river has been flowing strongly but is fishable at present providing there are no heavy downpours. It will be restocked before Easter. Day tickets may be purchased at Merry Pebbles and Uvuvi in Sabie or Angling and Outdoors in Nelspruit. The Sabie Trout Club has a very comprehensive number of events planned for 2025: 27 April: Introduction to river fly fishing. 24 May: Sabie Trout Challenge. 15 June: Father & child fly fishing day. 9 August: Ladies introduction to fly fishing. 29 November: Club AGM.
