BUSH & BARBS WHEN TINTSWALO LAPALALA (TINTSWALO.COM) INVITED US TO SEND SOMEONE TO CHECK OUT THEIR WATERBERG LODGE AND THE NEW FLY FISHING OPTION THEY HAVE ADDED TO THEIR ACTIVITIES, WE KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED. A ROMANTIC COUPLE. INSTEAD, WE SENT THEM TWO INDIAN OCEAN GUIDES, MILAN GERMISHUIZEN AND JUSTIN ROLLINSON, WHO HAVE BEEN LANDLOCKED IN GAUTENG SINCE SA FIRST STARTED GOING IN AND OUT OF LOCKDOWN. WHILE WE HAVE FELT A BIT SORRY FOR THESE GUYS OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO (THEY NORMALLY SPEND THEIR DAYS STALKING FLATS FISH IN PARADISE SO BEING STUCK AT HOME IS NEW TO THEM), WE ALSO KNEW THAT, TO DO JUSTICE TO TINTSWALO’S NEW OFFERING, WE NEEDED TO SEND ALONG TWO ANGLERS WHO KNOW HOW TO CATCH FISH WHEREVER THEY ARE. THIS IS THEIR ACCOUNT OF THE FISHING AND OF BEING, FOR ONCE, ON THE OTHER SIDE. Photos. Milan Germihuizen, Justin Rollinson and Tintswalo
