Name: Capt. Louis Day Email: louis@hermanus.co.za Phone: 082 555 8317 Louis has been out of action for several weeks following a shoulder operation, the left shoulder and as he is left-handed this is a problem, so his wife has been driving him around. And this is also the reason why he has not had a fishing rod in his hand for some time. He says the Breede is much cleaner now after the floods of a month ago which brought down a huge amount of rubbish and other materials as the floods swept through farmlands and river side properties. A spring tide has also helped clean up the estuary. Some blacktail and stumpnose have been caught but nothing of good size. There are always young leervis (garrick) around for the flyrodders. He is predicting an early summer so the main season should be earlier than usual this year. Hermanus lagoon has been open for some time with steenbras, elf and young leervis being caught but there has not been much fishing. Bot River lagoon has also opened but no report of fish caught yet.
