It's amazing looking back over the years, to see that the last significant rain we had was in October 2017 - 80mm in 3 days! The drought has had some other interesting consequences though...
FOSAF National AGM - April 2017
The FOSAF East Cape Chapter and Bankberg Troutfisher's Club will be hosting the FOSAF National AGM at the end of April, and is combining it with a fishing festival. Don't miss out!
For the first time in 30 years, the FOSAF National AGM will be held outside of Johannesburg. The FOSAF East Cape Chapter are very excited to be hosting the FOSAF National AGM at the Angler and Antelope Guesthouse in Somerset East in conjunction with Bankberg Trout Fisher’s Club.
It is going to be an “EPIC” fly fishing festival over the long weekend, the last weekend of April, starting on Thursday 27th April through to the Monday 1st of May. Bankberg Trout Fisher’s Club will be opening ALL of its waters, to the public to fish over the five days.
Take up the challenge of achieving “Hobson’s Choice”- catch a Trout, Yellow fish and Bass over 30cm on fly on the same day. The exclusive Angler and Antelope waters will also be open to fish over this festival.
Registration for the weekend is R 300 per person. This entitles you to fish for ALL five days (R20 daily gate fees are payable to fish Glen Avon dams and the Glen Avon waterfall), and also gives you access to ALL the Bankberg waters AND automatic membership to FOSAF National for 2017 and a free goodie bag. Please check the itinerary for registration times, at which times beats will be allocated. All fishermen must register for this long weekend. When you register you can also confirm which of the evening festivities you will be attending, costs included on the Itinerary.
There is more! A fun filled weekend of friendship and fly fishing!! Come and chat to Jay Smit creator of the world famous J-Vice and Edward Truter the adventure fisherman, who will be doing presentations.
