Northern Cape Fly Fishing

This is yellowfish country — the Orange (Gariep) River is one of South Africa's great fly-fishing destinations, with largemouth and smallmouth yellowfish sight-fished on the flats around Upington, Kakamas and the Richtersveld gorge, plus the famous flats of Vanderkloof Dam.
