September brings warmth to our rivers water temperature and the Yellowfish start to become more active.
These are undeniably the best months for fly fishing on the Vaal River. The summer days can be brutally hot, temperatures averaging in the mid to high 30’s (Celsius). Yellows are very active in rapids, runs and pools often seeking shelter in deeper pools during mid-day. River temperatures during these months can average around the 24 - 26 degrees mark. Early morning and late afternoon fishing are best. Water clarity can get quite murky with rains and rising river levels.
Autumn can produce some excellent fishing as the beautiful surroundings start to change. The evenings and early mornings start getting colder, river clarity starts to improve.
Water temperature is cold, around 10 degrees Celsius. The clarity is good, this brings some challenging dry fly opportunities for the brave wading or casting to rising Yellows in the deeper pools.
