I don't have the latest readings. Ecoli pollution varies greatly along the river as well as with rainfall. The mouth area is almost always clean. There was a red tide bloom along the upper reaches during summer but that has cleared up. Heavy metal contamination is a long term issue but is rather an issue with fish not being safe to eat.
Even the small ones are extremely fun to take on the fly 👍
Nice to see, planning a day out in the middle of the month
What's the typical fly to use on the river, I remember pumping prawns on the flats when I lived there in the 70's
Chartreuse and white clouser is my go-to fly for leeries.
How is the pollution now? River clean? Want to come up from cape town and fish in a kayak.want to join us?
