THE MISSION ISSUE 24

Description

Done with this train smash of a year, we team up with BMW Motorrad South Africa, jump on our bikes (the Urban G/S and the F 850 GS) and we ‘fok voort’ through a massive storm into the Tankwa Karoo in search of Clanwilliam yellowfish and smallmouth bass.

Elsewhere in the mountains, Leonard Flemming finds the last population of Dodo fish (aka sandfish) deep in the Cederberg.

We profile the irrepressible Gordon Van Der Spuy, aka The Feather Mechanic, and take a look at his new book.

While chasing GTs, triggers and other species, Peter Grylls got stuck in Socotra between a civil war, a pandemic and other geo-political pressures.

Unable to leave South Africa under lockdown, Jazz Kuschke went to Lake Jozini with Mavungana Flyfishing for his tigerfish fix.

Our Lifer Stephen McGown did not fish for six years, but (unlike you) he had a good excuse. He was being held prisoner by Al Qaeda, deep in the Sahara desert in Northern Mali.

A High 5s with FlyCastaway’s Brendan Becker.

The New Douglas Fly Fishing Sky G rod reviewed by Herman Botes.

Conrad Botes is The Reluctant Fluffer.

Plus, more fish, books, ephemera, kakpraat and tons of gear.

You got it cornholio.
