Fishing the Barbel-Run on a Budget
Every year, during early summer, the Okavango river in Botswana’s Okavango Delta hosts a unique and fascinating spectacle known as the barbel run. To fish for tigerfish during the barbel run is a unique opportunity that is high an most anglers ‘Bucket List”
image004To make the annual pilgrimage to the Okavango river can be a very expensive exercise if you use the services and expertise of one of the many professional operators. The most convenient way to travel to your Okavango is to fly to Maun with Air Botswana and then to your destination in the Okavango Delta with a single engine charter plane. The cost of the return trip George - Jhb – Maun – Sepupa can be as much as R10 000. Add to it the cost of the fishing trip itself, and you can be out of pocket to the tune of R22 000 – excluding the cost of bottled water and some welcome beers.

Die jaar het volgens my in die visvang hemel afgesluit,tensy daar nog iets vreesliks gebeur in ons omgewing.
Ek,Pieter Naude,Trevor Skelton en John Metlerkamp is toe mos hier op Botswana toe om te gaan vis vang in die Okovanga by Sepupa Swamp stop.
Die trip het ook net begin toe die trailer ons flikkerligte blaas en ons verward rond spring om nuwe smeltdrade te kry om ons padwaardig te kry 3 uur die oggend. Dit nadat Pieter my die vorige aand 8 uur bel om te se dat ons nie meer met sy kar kan ry nie want die kragstuur het opgepak,maar nou ja ons is uiteindelik weg.

Die Somer is weer op ons en die Leeries is weer terug!! , vra maar vir Herman, hy het my nou die middag n les geleer daar by Klein brak.
Die ongewone droë Winter het sekerlik te doen met die riviere wat silwer skoon is en die water word lekker warm.
Als n resep vir lekker vang... hopelik.
Die Klein Brakrivier is die laaste jaar oop gewees, iets wat ek in die 20 jaar hier onder nog nooit gesien het nie, en die eerste maal in baie jare het daar weer inkvis in die rivier opgedaag.
