    Thanks for the vid. I fished Swartkops from mid seventies until 2000. I was a member of the rod club and remember the floods around late 70's or early 80's when it was one big lake. The river was right up to the club house. About 2 weeks later the fishing was really good.

      How's going Graham
      Swartkops are still one of my favorite rivers to fish. I started fish there mid 90s as a junior. It's been good to me over the years. I was a member at hook and reel those days, but I'm now at the rod club. 1999 I managed to catch a 2.7kg kingklip in swarkops. Was a big story those years, not sure if you heard about it ? Also caught my biggest cob and many other PBs in that river. I said to the guys the river going to be very fishy in a week of two.

    Thanks for the video, I was at Redhouse about a month ago and was so disappointed to see the black coffee like water. Pity about the damage but thank GOD for cleaning the river with rainwater. The damage could have been worse. I wish government could step up to their task of maintaining our beautiful land.

    ps: You accidentally swapped the K & T in your video thumbnail line, it reads "Swarktops" instead of "Swartkops" (I guess the floods got to it 😄)
    Thanks for the reporting though, great job 😉

      @bigdsouthafrican5742 but I think it's going to do the river good having a proper flush. Once it settles the fishing should be good.
