The Rain Gods |
|
Back to the Essequibo to revisit areas
that we fished two years ago - in abnormal flood conditions.
This year things looked promising, no serious rain since
October, and the rivers were low.
Then we arrived.
And we brought the rain with us. . . . . . . . . . .

Our itinerary is now well
established, as usual Dennis was at the airport (The best taxi
driver in Guyana)
to
pick us up and take us to the gentile comforts of the Herdmanston
Lodge
Then a flight to Annai
and a transfer to Kwatamang landing to meet up with Ashley Holland
and his crew.

After a scratch overnight camp
we arrived at Apoteri an Amerindian village to pick up two guides;
'Uncle' Stanley, and Neville. |
 |
| |
|
Upstream, first camp 'Primus'
 |
 |
| |
|
|
And the first fish,
|
 |
| |
|
|
Second camp, downstream 'Anteater'
|
 |
| |
|
And some more fish
|
 |
| |
|
Then a return
to Apoteri, and our own charter plane!!
|
 |
For a visit to Kai Teur

Another great, well organised trip from
Ash and the crew - Thanks! (Despite the rain, rising river levels,
dirty water . . . . . . )
