Daga Salmon at The Sandspit

Daga Salmon at The Sandspit

Well it’s been a bumper season for daga salmon fishermen down at The Block and on The Sandspit, in Port Shepstone, this year. Many, many fish have come out in the corner where the Umzimkulu River has closed for so long. Hopefully they will find another river somewhere to spawn and breed or the summer will keep the mouth open long enough for them to enter.

Whilst researching the reproductive behaviour of this magnificent but threatened species, I came across an awesome and comprehensive description of the Daga Salmon, written by a very authoritative, Mike Otgaar.

Enjoy his work by following the link below. Thanks Mike!
