Name: Ruben Schoeman Email: rubenmschoeman@gmail.com Phone: 079 793 8169 The Swartkops, Gamtoos and Sundays are still a bit discoloured and as we have had some heavy rain in PE there might be a bit of flooding of the Swartkops again. There is little news from the Kromme at Cape St Franis although I assume visibility is still quite poor and I hear that there have been changes in the channels and flats after the floods. Kob have provided most of the action recently in the first three rivers mentioned, many caught on lures including some large ones in the 10 to 15kg range. Also, there are plenty of leervis in the estuaries, especially juveniles. As I mentioned in July, grunter tend to stay in the channels during winter. With warmer weather expected late this month and into September, they should begin moving onto the flats, where fly fishing really comes into its own.
