Garlic a favourite at Albert Falls, producing for specimen and conventional anglers
THE freshwater fishing has been good on all fronts with carp, bass and trout to be caught.
Hazlemere has been the pick of the shore venues for bass fishing with most anglers fishing from the side seeing good numbers of fish as well as some decent sizes.
Moving baits, and particularly small minnow imitations, have done very well – darker colours with a bit of a gold or copper flash.
Albert Falls and Midmar have been the better boat venues with anglers reporting some very big fish. A host of techniques and methods have been working so try your favourites and work the day out from there.
The carp have been consistent over the last month with mostly smaller fish making their way to the reports but the bigger catches being kept private.
Albert Falls has been producing fish for both specimen and conventional anglers. Garlic has been the most reported flavour with floaties out-fishing mealies.
Specimen anglers have been best suited using boilies in the 16mm size range and up.
Remember to use whole and chopped boilies in your feed mix to make sure you give the fish plenty to eat.
Trout fishing has been decent on most of the trout waters with the hot temperatures a limiting factor. Most of the venues in KZN have been seeing some fantastic fish.
Those in the float tubes are out-fishing those from the banks. The float tube allows you to get to places that the bank anglers cannot access. The streamers are fishing well on sinking lines. The generic ‘bugger’-style flies have been the most successful as they are easy to cast, easy to fish and they catch fish almost anywhere.
*Please remember to leave the areas that you fish in a better condition than when you got there. Take a few moments to pick up some litter and take it to the nearest bin. Tight lines and screaming reels.
