  • A great day out on the Bushmans today with the kids. There was very little litter to pick up, and the river was looking superb! #flyfishing #trout #nffc #nffcwaters #communityproject #pickitup #getoutside #environment

  • Water of the month- February. In light of the annual river clean up happening on the 7th of March we decided to give the Bushmans River a little spotlight! Situated in Giants Castle, the bushmans is an east to north-easterly flowing tributary of the Tugela River. The NFFC have been generously granted this water by the amaHlubi tribe of Bhungane. There are four beats from which you can choose to fish; B1: Ezibukweni Kwaundaba, B2: Thandabantu, B3: Bhungane, B4:eClinic. This stretch of river we are lucky to fish is a mix of deep pools & rocky runs. There’s a little bit for every type of river fisherman. With generally crystal clean waters and plenty of over-hanging rocks there are some fierce and sized brownies lurking around. Be sure to have a good selection of dry flies and we would highly recommend your nymphing box too, with the deeper pools it really gets fun! The fall-back GUN never disappoints. 3 rods, 1 car per beat per day, always necessary to sms Sylvia Mbata with your relevant details (please follow the prompts in the PDF you download after booking) & there is a car guard available (sometimes for than one curious onlooker) for around R30 per day or part thereof. A truly special piece of water only a couple hours away. With the beautiful rain we have been having it is highly recommended to ask a member or the committee about the state of the water at the time you wish to go. Always remember to take only pictures and leave only footprints! #WOTM #waterofthemonth #february2020 #bushmansriver #nffcwaters #natalflyfishersclub #itonlycountsonfly

  • Agua Boa Amazon Adventure 2019 “I had the privilege of experiencing the breathtaking spectacle of the Amazon Jungle, one of the last untouched parts of this planet, with Mavungana Flyfishing in November / December of 2019. We fished the Northern tributaries of the Rio Negro and Rio Branco from the acclaimed Agua Boa Amazon Lodge. Situated on the banks of the Agua Boa river, the lodge falls within a protected reserve where absolutely no commercial fishing is allowed. The river is fished in the drier months when the river is lower and the fishing is plentiful, with anglers blind casting towards structure or sight casting to cruising or holding fish in the tannin stained water. A variety of very exotic species were caught, making for an amazing fly fishing experience. The region consists of thick rain forest and savannah, home to animals like the Jaguar, Tapir, Sloth, giant Amazon Otter, Capubara, pink Freshwater Dolphin and a myriad of bird species. A fly fishing experience of a lifetime” Want to hear & see more? We did too... so join us at the Feb pub evening, Monday the 24th, Xways at 17:45pm to hear all about the Ebersohn’s adventure! __ #amazon #flyfishing #itonlycountsonfly #peacockbass #peacockbassonfly #nffc
