Guide and client wading a Vaal River seam at dawn

About Immersive Angling

Passionate, accredited Vaal River Yellowfish guides focused on learning, safety, and conservation.

Our Story

Immersive Angling began over two decades ago when Shayne fell in love with the rhythm of the Vaal. Weekends chasing Yellowfish turned into years of guiding, coaching, and refining river tactics—until sharing that knowledge became the mission.
