howzit mr LGF, nice info there, no wonder you are a senior member.  there is a place where the fishing is wild and untamed.  hell the owners of this property don't even know what bait to use.  the place is called Luiperdskloof and is situated on the Wilge rivier just past the bronkhorstspruit turnoff on the N4. there is about 23km of dirt road to get to this bush lodge but well worth it. if my 1300 conquest with LP tyres can clock 140km/h on those roads then only a UNO will battle but anyway.  the river bush lodge is something out of raw africa and is surprizingly cheap. four of us stayed there for R7oo a night.  the river holds common carp,Black bass, barbel and moddrbek.  the secret for the carp is pap and curry. dont waste your time with any other dip or bait not even plain brown bread.  these bass eat insects so this means the popper guys are going to smoke 'em.  there is a canoe down at the river which is ideal for the flyguys.  but the best place to fish is down the hiking trail where the rapids are. the fish jump there the whole day and are quite active.  the workers on the farm can supply you with chicken livers if youre targetting the barbels.  use natural colors and fish weightless with youre hooks tucked away as there are many sunken branches.  watermelon seed lizards from gary yamamotto and ZOOM are powerful.  my best catch was a 2.9kg blackie at around 10:00 just when the sun came over the kloof.  and i smoked the carp there.  my chick always carries her odd bottle of kerrie poeier.  the muddies like their plain unsweetened dough.  oh and my gal got a 30cm barbel which was grey.  just two things though,  don't go down to the water after dark they don't call the place luiperdskloof for nothing and watch out for the blesbok that thinks hes a springbok, frisky fella that one.

1. Security

    No built-up braais but portable ones are welcome

4. Day Venue only or Overnight Facilities

LGF Great tread boet!

Down here in the sugar fields there must be plenty dams busting with bass....up to this point we have only found two on the North coast, the dam just passed the microlite airfield (Compensation)and another further up the road but that one didnt seem to have any bass in it, it has hoards of kurpers though.

Then South coast is Tuckers.....

Obviously the larger dams Inanda, Albert falls etc. you need some water wheels.

PLEASE KZN guys add your dams here....::slr::::slr::::slr::::slr::::slr::
