LBT committee members will instigate the
launching process and direct all traffic
accordingly. Please adhere to the
instructions in order to not block any access
to and from the launching site.
- VENUE WILL BE HEYSHOPE DAM NEAR
PIET RETIEF – REASON BECAUSE IT IS A
BIG DAM WITH LITTLE FISHING PRESSURE
AND IT IS CENTRAL.
With the high water levels, launching is
relatively easy.
You are also requested to use the parking
lights of your vehicle when backing up to
the water as to avoid blinding people
further up the slipway with headlights.
- EACH TRAIL WILL SEND 5 TEAMS TO
PARTICIPATE – LBT CRITERIA TO FISH IN
THE TOURNAMENT WILL BE TOP 4 TEAMS
ON THE LOG + WINNING TEAM OF THE
FINAL IN OCTOBER. IF THE FINAL WINNER
IS A TEAM IN TOP 5 OF THE LOG THEN
THE TOP 5 TEAMS WILL REPRESENT THE LBT
Weather
No accurate long term weather forecasts
available, but with this being a Highveld
dam, be sure to pack warm clothes as wind
and rain is not unlikely this time of the year.
- THE OBJECT IS NOT TO MIX AND MATCH
ANGLERS FROM DIFFERENT TEAMS – THE
TEAM AS WHOLE MUST PARTICIPATE. IF A
MEMBER OF A TEAM CANNOT FISH THE
TEAM WILL HAVE TO FORFEITT AND THE
NEXT TEAM ON LOG WILL BE GIVEN
OPPORTUNITY.
Pre-fishing
Please take note that the LBT rules state
that no pre-fishing is allowed 5 days in
advance of any regular scheduled event.
Pre-fishing is not only limited to lines in the
water but also includes scouting fishing
locations and graphing lake contours.
Any team found contravening this rule will
be disqualified from the event.
