To Botswana with fly-rods (and some other rods).

o, the day has arrived and my wife (Maryke) and I are off to Botswana for a family fishing trip with her parents and brother. We decided earlier in the year to go hunt some Tigerfish in the “Pan-handle” of the Okavango Delta. Previously we visited Shakawe Fishing Lodge in December of 2015 but this time we headed lower down to Sepopa Swamp Stop. My father-in-law visited Sepopa in 2016 and had some good success on "Mepps Spinners" so the decision wasn’t too difficult. We also heard some rumors that there might still be some barbel runs happening.
