Northern Cape Yellowfish Working Group

 

NCYWG

The NCYWG is an independent, conservation oriented, non-profit organisation sponsored by Bell's® Whisky and Xplorer Quality Fly Fishing Equipment and consists of voluntary members from all backgrounds.
The group was founded in 2000 by about twenty concerned, conservation-minded, passionate anglers, mostly from the Kimberley area.  This initiative was originated by a man named Abe Abrahams, who was employed by the Department of Nature Conservation at the time, and is now in the employ of the Department of Water Affairs.
The NCYWG became even more active in 2002 when alluvial diggers were becoming a serious threat to the wellbeing of the lower Vaal river in the Northern Cape.
We are also active in the Northwest province after Nature Conservation officials there asked for our presence on certain issues, in particular establishing conservancies.
