Fishing the Vaal River - Vaaldraai

After a long and hard lockdown in South Africa, with a few months away from the water, we just had to get outside and try and land a few golden bars.

We were limited by choice as we were not allowed to cross provincial borders to go fishing during level 4 of the lockdown. We found a beautiful stretch of river that we thought we would give a try. We each had one rod for conventional fishing and one rod for specimen fishing.

Thanks to the fish finder, we soon found out that this piece of river has a lot of rocks and casting the rods out into the unknown will not produce a lot of fish, but rather result in cutting our lines off or getting stuck in between the rocks. Luckily we found a clear patch with a sandy bottom across the river close to the other bank. That is where we will fish for the rest of the weekend.

Circumstances was difficult and the cold weather made things even more difficult. But we managed to land a few decent carp to make the weekend an overall success.
