Overflowing pond filters is not an unusual situation and is generally the result of a restriction in the outlet pipe. I got this email recently which shows what can happen. By the way it is always a good idea to place a filter on a slope so that if the worst does happen at least […]
Water is a very scarce resource in South Africa because of generally low annual rainfalls, few large rivers, large offtakes for industry and a warm climate. Many dams have been built to cushion the effects of drought years and at times the levels in these dams have been perilously low.

This water then falls upon the land and becomes contaminated with fertilisers and other materials.The water then flows into rivers and streams or sinks through the soil to be stored underground.However when water is […]

I re-discovered my diary of 1992 the other day in which I recorded my fishing experiences in the UK on the River Wharfe and in the USA in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.The entries brought back great memories and show that I learned some great fly fishing techniques taught by able masters like Craig Fellin, Jim […]
