RULES

Competitors are only allowed ONE rod and line, with a maximum of three flies, in the water at any one time.

Only recognised/bona fide fly fishing equipment may be used.  No lures, bait, spinning, or any other fishing equipment is permissible.  No electronic surveillance equipment or fish finders are allowed.  Trolling a fly behind a propelled watercraft is not permitted.

Fishing times must be strictly adhered to.  Lines in at 05:30 and lines out at 18:00.  All catch records MUST be handed in by 18:30.  TAKE NOTE: Competitors fishing at Maden or Mnyameni Dams, please leave early enough to be back at Gubu Dam before 18:30.

Catch and release is strongly encouraged.  All fish caught must be handled with care while being measured.  Length is measured from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail using the supplied measuring device.

All fish entered on a catch record MUST be witnessed by another entrant or have photographic proof showing the fish in the measuring device.  Fish not witnessed or without photographic proof will not be eligible for prize categories.  Points are allocated based on a submitted, witnessed catch record.  The judges' decision with respect to catch records and points allocation is final and no objections will be considered or correspondence entered into.

Each fish on a catch record is eligible for one prize category only, i.e. a fish that qualifies for the "largest rainbow trout" prize will not be included in the "longest bag" category.

Strictly no lighting of fires other than in designated areas.  Please do not discard cigarette butts or any other litter anywhere other than demarcated bins.  Remember that we are in a fire hazard area, so please be exceptionally careful.
