• An interesting fact about the The NFFC committee. The committee is split into sub-groups, one of which is a very active & productive “waters group”. The waters group are responsible for the stocking of all our NFFC dams/ still waters. They follow an annual procedure with well-thought out stocking action plans, taking into account the weather, pH of the water, the previous stocking history and outlying water that may affect the survival of the trout. __ The waters group stocked our dams with 28,700 trout in 2019. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the stocking this year despite the tough conditions with warmer weather & little rain. If you’d like to find out more about NFFC stocking please take a look at our website under the “MemberZone- cool stuff” This is just another way we use your valuable subs & work to make our club waters your water destination of choice. __ #nffcwaters #nffc #trout #stocking #flyfishing #club #members #waters #stillwater

  • For only R75 you can purchase a NFFC tippet bin or ashtray for your walkabouts along our rivers or on the still waters. It’s a nifty way to dispose of your non-biodegradable leftovers in an environmentally-friendly and responsible way. Thanks to Anton Smith, vice chairman of the committee, for organizing these for members purchase at cost price! Thanks also to Jan from Kingfisher in Victoria road for offering to keep stock there for your ease of purchase. Should you not have time to make it to Jan’s store for a buy and browse, message Bridgitte privately (number is on all WhatsApp groups) to bring along a couple to the Monday night pub evening. For our Joburg members we could also organize a bulk parcel delivery if we get enough interest! Have a happy weekend and tight lines! P.S. Don’t forget to read the rules of the waters you chose & message the farmers! #flyfishing #natalflyfishersclub #tippetbins #ashtrays #weekend #nffcwaters
