well i am back!! What a trip!! Unfortunatly had 3 days of rain which gave me 2 full days of fishing. Managed to land 3 small goliaths and lost 12, including a pig of a fish at an estimated 20kg, snapped my repaired fly line . Fished mainly in Stanleys pools off the boat and sand banks. Fly wise the goliaths seemed to like the brush flies i tied.
