sorry cant tell you.its a highly pressured public dam and people just dont care about the place.the day i was fishing some kid caught 3 big bass and put them in his tackle box.when i told him its a catch and release dam he just laughed and said that they will breed again.because of idiots like this ive been fishing this place for the past year and havent caught anything bigger than 1 kg.

the fish are in bad shape with hooks in their mouths and chopped up fins.
if you realy want to know pm me with your email adress and ill tell you but not on the forums...who knows their might be hook and coockers reading this and i dont want them to damage the dam further.even small 100 and 150 gram fish get taken out.the nerve of these people...they disgust me.
end of rant

its a nice place good to take the family:SSS

Thanx for the reply , worked out with the pics where the dam is... went there this morning and Agree 100% with you . Such a nice place and being abused by a select few . Met another guy fly fishing and had a great morning . Should meet next time and maybe you can show me the good spots .

as you can see they realy fat bellys,theres alot of food for them(bugs and crustaceans).these things fight hard given their size,with many of them clearing the water and tail dancing.with a very light drag its good fun catching them(and relaesing them).
 
Hi,

I've also been fishing this venue during Dec 2011 - Jan 2012

Here are the pics of my catches. All bass, except one rare catch, a vlei kurper on a jerk minnow.

Here goes:

Thanks!

I unfortunately didn't have a scale to weigh the vlei, but it measured in at 230mm in length, which I believe is quite big for this species.

Was going for bass, so this catch definitely caught me by surprise ...
