Drakensberg rivers

[peterj]

Hi, I'm going to be at a place called Cobham in the Drakensberg over the easter weekend, do most of the rivers in the 'berg hold trout?

If not, what is a good river to target in the area? Umzimkulu maybe?

What would produce the goods? Standard mayfly patterns as per usual?

Sorry for the 20 questions.haha....

Thank you in advance...

Peter.

The river at Cobham doesn't produce many fish these days. If you can, book a spot on the Umzimkulu - it can be excellent. Yes, standard patterns, especially nymphs in size 14 & 16 will do the trick.
