A river runs through it ...
Summer is in full swing and November is an amazing time for targeting yellowfish with a fly rod on our rivers. Rohan Koegelenberg shares some of his secrets on landing these beauties. Artlure expert Eben Dowd explains step by step how to tie a Copper John for targeting trout while Danie Engelbrecht explains how to find the best angling spots on the riverbank, which fish to target and what tackle to use.

All good anglers have a sound knowledge of not only their tackle, but also the fish species they target and their food preferences. Proper nutrition for a carp, like for any other living creature, is very important for its longevity and vitality. By understanding the nutritional requirements for carp you will increase your catch rate! Make sure to read Paul Rawsthorne’s comprehensive article on proper carp nutrition for more information. Barbel enthusiasts will enjoy field editor Bernard Venter’s article on how to catch barbel in Barberspan with the calling method.
