More Lesotho

Just a few more parting shots of Lesotho... let the pictures speak for themselves.

An addendum by Megan--the picture of the horses is right by the bunk house we stayed in. They just wandered around while I was sitting outside reading.

The fishing in Lesotho has amazing potential. the biggest fish landed was a brown trout of 7 3/4 lbs. it was a massive hog of a fish and 2 more bigger fish were spotted but not caught. fish of 5 and 6 lbs were also landed and many fish were caught. My luck was not very good for the trip and i really only had one full day of fishing. I caught 3 fish on the day and that was it for the entire trip. day 1 was a bad draw of water and in general, my luck was very poor as far as fishing the good water. a case of poor planning but a very fun trip overall. Megan did not get much fishing in as the conditions were very difficult and there were too many fisherman anyway.

Well, Over the Easter Holiday Megan and I ventured out into the interior of South Africa and into the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho for a nice vacation. The main purpose of the Lesotho trip was for fly fihing, but it turned out to be a magnificent place full of amazing people and scenery. We spent 4 days in total in Lesotho and here are a few pics of what we saw.

The people there are still subsitence farmers for the most part. The so called "poor

" people of this area did not look poor to me. sure they had to grow their own food and eat their animals, but thats exactly what i want to do with my life... so not poor to me. also they did their wash in the river, used the river for drinking water, etc etc. it was amazing to see. they all had smiles on their faces and diud not look liek the poor people in rural South Africa or in the townships of South Africa.

There was a really nice feel to the place. we saw some spectacular rainbows too. the guides we had were excellent. Megan did a nice pny ride too.

The water fall is called Semonkong Falls. its amazing we have never heard of this waterfall as it is absolutely spectacular and belongs in the category with many of the other big falls. We hike dright down to the base and i even casted a line at some water... alas there did not seem to be any fish directly below the falls, but it made for a scenic place to fish. now above the falls was a different story altogether... to be continued with more fishing stuff...
