Hi :name:

Catch Report

Recently Intrepid Fly sent groups to, Mozambique, Lesotho and around South Africa

Last month I took a group to a new lodge north of Vilanculos (Mozambique). This set up has got to be one the best locations for fly fishermen as well as conventional anglers based on the array of fishing it offers. The deep sea fishing presents various reefs close to the lodge with deep canyons suited to targeting sailies. Sadly the water was a bit cold and the fishing was not its best on this trip. One is also able to hunt fish in a vast estuary at your leisure. One of our clients landed over 20 fish on fly in one day. There is a very productive point close to the lodge for all anglers but the best location is a small island surrounded with a 10 – 15 metre drop off, well with in reach to fly fishermen. A 110cm queenfish was landed there. This is a must visit for all anglers!!!

Ant received a few groups over the past months in the Bazaruto Archipelago. Conditions were much better than the earlier months and a good tally of fish was recorded. King fish from 3 – 5kgs on fly, with up to 30 kgs on plugs. Plenty of bludger and queenfish between 2- 8 kgs were landed, as well as a few sailies up to 25 kgs. In the past 3 weeks the conditions have improved dramatically and the sailies have finally arrived and guides across the archipelago have been successful in their endeavours.

Fred took a number of trips into Lesotho between April and May, targeting wild trout in these remote streams with tremendous success. The Rhodes region and surrounding water systems were blessed with late rains and the best river conditions in years. The season is currently closed, but we are readying ourselves for an exciting few months in September and October.

Ian has begun his largemouth yellow fish season with great success across the Vaal River. Though his guided record from last year (20 lbs) is yet to be beaten, we are confident that he will put one of you lucky and determined anglers onto a buss! This is a schedule that is filling up fast based on the demand for Ian’s experience at nailing largies.

Intrepid Fly has a number of corporate fly-fishing trips to Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and around South Africa lined up. Should you be interested in spoiling any of your clients and staff, please allows us to come in and showcase what we are about.

Upcoming Trips

Intrepid Fly will be hosting and guiding a number of trips to a recently established lodge on the lower Zambezi. This lodge is only a 10 minute boat ride from the famous Tiger Mile, a stretch of the Zambezi well known for its abundant tigerfish population. In times where work class fishing on a budget is seemingly unattainable … this is a package and destination worth considering.

Intrepid Fly will be guiding a number of trips to the Bazaruto Archipelago. Ant Diplock is stationed there and will be receiving our guests. If you are in the region and require his services to improve on your salt water skills, please let us know. His daily rate is $500 for the guiding, the boat and fuel. The mainland lodge is geared for fishermen and in close proximity to the reefs and canyons.

Intrepid Fly will be taking 3 trips to Bassas da India this year and are taking bookings for 2009. This legendary atoll in the Indian Ocean offers you the very best chance of hooking up with monster GT’s, dogtooth tuna, snapper and various other pelagic species. Expect a 1.5 - 2 day crossing each way. The trip is departing from Mozambique. 3 spots left in Oct 08.

Intrepid Fly will be packaging and guiding trips throughout the year to the Amazon to target peacock bass in the lagoon systems of Northern Brazil. The round trip is 8 days in the Amazon with options to visit Rio de Janeiro on route. There is space for individuals and groups and based on last months trip, this is highly recommended. 174 peacock bass between 2 anglers in one day...

Intrepid Fly will be guiding and packaging trips to Argentina to target rainbow 22 + inch and brown trout across streams and spring creeks. The trip will involve a stop off in Buenos Aeries on route to Patagonia. Fishing will include floating trips should you wish.

Intrepid Fly will be holding a number of academies in the upcoming year. These weekends away will be in the Lowveld, Drakensberg, Western Cape and Rhodes region for all anglers. If you have a party and would like a guide to accompany you on your weekend away, please let us know.

Intrepid Fly will be offering a number of day trips and weekends away to target various yellows. With Intrepid Ian’s knowledge and experience, you will have an opportunity to “break the code” and have a sporting chance at landing your own trophy. If you are interested in finding out more about the programs offered and the academies get in touch with us.

Thank you for all your support and we look forward to taking you fishing soon

Kind Regards
Andrew and the Intrepid Fly team
