More Ceres Valley Fly Fishing Action: Olifants River
Another beautiful river in magnificent surroundings on a wonderfully
sunny November day. Jan van Huyssteen , Tony Biggs and I fished from
about 09.00 to 13.00 and covered about 1 1/2 kms of river - freestone in
character with more pocket water than the Olifants or Witte.
Caught 5 rainbows up to 300gms on RAB (named after the creator … RA
Biggs but it’s also known as Red-arsed bastard) dry flies. I was
striking too hard today and broke off on 1 fish which was not that big.
Once we finished fishing we had to tackle about 400 metres of “jungle”
to reach the road - saw no snakes but we must have passed a few. Its
important to take care in this kind of country.
