TCFF | AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2019 | 57We also bumped into the only other
fly fisherman on the dam who turned out
to be a good fishing mate of mine, Stu
du Toit. He owns one of the private
residences on the estate. After comman-
deering his net (as I had left mine at
home), we agreed to meet later that
afternoon to catch up. Sue and I caught
some reasonable fish in all the dams we
fished that morning and had worked up
a healthy appetite as we headed back
down the hill for a late lunch.THE FISHING
