Arrived on the afternoon of the 21st. After a braai and early to bed we were on the water early the next morning the 22nd. Trolled with small lures (Salmo Hornets #3's)- trolled down the northern bank past the dam wall - had a take at "krokodil baai" but got broken off. Saw many carp still spawning in the shallows. Later in the day tried for kurper with eartworms and floats at the "kabel" - with no luck - not even a makriel. Next day (23rd) saw us sitting in 8 m water fishing for karp (heard from the staff at camp that certain of the other anglers had caught carp even though we saw them actively spawning the previous day)- we caught 6 carp between 1.5 - 2.5 Kg on mielies (perdeby, honey, almond). Next day (24th) caught 5 more carp during the morning in 5m water at "reiersbaai". Caught a beautiful blue on a almond mieliepip (will attach photo) - back on the water late afternoon in heavy weather (lots of wind and waves - almost fell ovrboard more than once) - managed 6 catfish in less than 2 hours. Next day (25th) spent morning at "reiersbaai" and managed 5 catfish (all below 5kg) - spent the afternoon session close to the dam wall in 12 m water looking for better size catfish (caught 6 of better size). All in all it was a geat trip - I love this dam - the water is clear, you get to watch wildlife on the bank from your boat whilst waiting for your reel to run. I usually fish Harties, which now seems like a toilet in comparison. Hope to be back at Loskop soon.

Harties might be a toilet but loskop is more like a acid bowl
The mines up stream have made a big impact on the water running into the dam
We will be lucky to even catch fish here in the next couple of years
Still an amazing dam just wish the mines would stop fing up our one real limited resources,,,, Our rivers and water systems....
