Near Ermelo. The Vaal runs through a friend's farm. It is close to where the river has its beginning, so it is more a stream if there aren't good down pours. As I sat next to the river, I was reminded how all this can change in a few days. About 3 meters above me was the remains of a flood two years ago. The grass high up in the Willow tree and the wire from the fence it took in its wake. A little further down the Yelkowfish are very active, but the river needs to run strong.

Re: Mini-me's first Barbel.
Ok not very familiar with the origin of the Vaal but a mighty beast when in flood I hear.
If you can try the mulberry trick when in season it works a charm on barbel.
I am fortunate to live on its banks from August this year so I am just starting to experience its seasons.
