There is a decent population of bass at Klien Princessvlei. It is also choked with weed but they are there.

a floating weedless frog works well in rutter road - little tip

If you have fly fishing stuff you can try that.

both small and prinses, and langevlei are doggy spots.watch your back when you are alone

 

[Bassassasin]

Kool ty, good to know.
Just wondering is theire are any places other than princes, langevlei or rutter where i can go out and enjoy a good day of fishing bass?...

Another enquiry is to weather anyone knows anywhere where i can buy bass from, as their is a gr8 big dam where i live and it is ideal 4 bass, their r lots of carp(big and small) and a lot of bait fish like tilapia.

Is this illegal?

Hey bassassassin,

Is that a  private dam?...I thought it was perhaps the Pollsmoor prison dam, I guess you are not a guest of that fine establishment ............
I will find out what the law says about acquiring and translocating bass from a friend who works in nature conservation....
I would love to put some Clanwilliam yellowfish in there!

 

[gt40]

ok guys. for any one to stock bass you have to obtain a permit. at the moment they are doing zoning program.

the owners of the dam got to give permission.

swampmaster you will never get a permit to stock clan yellows as they are protected and does not origanate from cpt.



if one a a farm close to clam and dam was empty and gaurenteed no fish was present in dam then maybe but not tokai or any place close by.

The dam i am talking about is in steenberg golf estate(as i live there)

and would love to put yellowfish in there, pls get back to me on this

p.s this dam belongs to the steenberg comitee

It is anecdotal and maybe I'm lucky but I've been to Klein Princessvlei during the day a few times and I've never felt unsafe. Chatted to quite a few other fishermen and they didn't seem overly concerned either.

This was by the road by the park (Which is actually quite a nice area.), the canal entry to the vlei side as well.

This is South Africa so your mileage may vary though as it does everywhere.

if this dam contained no fish and fills up via rain.no streams involved where one could get fish coming in i could present it to the zoning board but its a 50/50 call  

 

[swampmaster]

Cape Nature handles these issues: call their office and ask how you get a permit to relocate fish for restocking etc.
It is not a straightforward process.

 

[Bassassasin]

hey gt40

can i notjust get bass put into the dam withoput leters?, it is such an effort... and the guy who ownes the dam is a very irrational person

yeah go catch a few bass and put them in there. just make sure no one catches you.

If you put bass into a system that never had bass in you have no respect for nature or the people that try to conserve it. Rather go through the proper channels.
