Name: Karin Opperman (bailiff) Email: admin@affc.co.za Phone: 0660828595 AFFC waters. Karin reports that Gubu is full and they have had quite a bit of cloudy weather and winter rain which has kept this big dam of 109ha topped up. Fishing has been on the slow side but there are some good-sized trout around to keep up one’s interest. Olive damsels and small nymphs have worked well but so have lure patterns with some red in them. In early June the dam was stocked with large brownie fingerlings as browns always do well in Gubu. No news from Maden or Mnyameni, two attractive dams which the AFFC also manages. If AFFC members have any news please let us know as these dams are also regularly stocked. You can also refer to the club website for more information – www.affc.co.za. Loch Lochie Margo Whyle (cell 0725220602) reports since the dam reopened for fishing over a month ago, they first had to endure a major storm in May with very high winds and big waves on this 26-ha dam which is quite shallow in most parts. This stirred up the bed of the dam, and it was discoloured for several weeks but it also removed some of the aquatic weed so currently one can fish off the side. The average size of fish coming out is a promising 55cm with the largest fish so far this season at 7lb.
