Name: Duane Howell Phone: 0832286707 Duane Howell of the Underberg Flyfishing Shop reports that the streams are closed now until Sept 1 but all the 16 dams managed by the UHTFC are now open but spraying vehicles and equipment to prevent the spread of foot & mouth disease must be carried out as all these dams are on privately owned stock farms. Most dams are full following the good summer and autumn rains. Holiday makers are taking advantage of this improved access. Many fish are in spawning mode, and anglers are taking advantage of this by targeting good sized fish while in fake spawning. The UHTFC are planning a Stillwater festival in September, but details are still to be announced. More information may be gained by visiting the club website at www.uhtfc.org.za.
