Dullstroom



Only 3 hours from Gauteng, en route to the Kruger National Park, Dullstroom is situated at 2100m above sea level
 Whether this neck of the woods is referred to as 'Trouteng' or as the 'fly-fishing suburb of Jo'burg', makes no difference. This quaint village, known for its high altitude fresh air was where Don and I spent the last 5 days. 

 

















Dons' Olive Woolly Bugger didn't let him down ... over the 5 days he must have caught at least 20 trout. Many of the dams are a 'catch and release' allowing these silly things to be caught again on another day. 


... hhhmmmm ... a new floating line, a few new flies, or just simply a chat to the guys who all share the same passion?


The 5 F's - Flyfishing, Fireplaces, Fauna, Flora (I love the beautiful snow balls which are blooming in Dullstroom), Fresh air ...

  1. Yum. Looks delicious. As well as very beautiful and peaceful! Did you have plenty of almonds to accompany the trout? (My favourite accompaniment to fresh trout: flaked almonds in brown butter.)
