if you talking about the one in the berg, I didn't see 6 dams. 1 big trout dam, fly only and one small fenced up dam with nothing telling you anything about it... but lots of boats and kayaks to use. good fun.

Thx. Yebo, talking about the one in the berg. 
Apparently Cathedral Peak is close by and fishing isn't too bad there.. ?

ya, good fishing, but mainly trout. There's a decent size dam where the carp fishing is good. it's called bell park dam. Also has bass. No float tubes as there's some small crocs in the dam, apparently....?!?!

Champagne castle has 4 trout dams, day fishing allowed, fly only, some decent fish. Rods for hire... Very nice and peaceful. Beautiful setting...

Thx. Will keep an eye out 4 the crocs!

fished the dam at the drakensberg sun. fly only but guys where putting small bass grubs on the end of the line
very scenic.
went to bell park the following day. caught one baby bass. one guy seemed to pull out a decent carp from across the way. saw plenty fish jumping but didnt seem like too many were being caught.
and no crocs in sight.. ?!

I would like to see the croc that can survive in that cold weather they experience in winter!

also saw hundreads of fish jumping at bell park dam but didn't catch anyhting.... The resort there says there's a croc there.... personally I fancy the avility to walk so i won't take a chance.

maybe this is just his summer watering hole! hehe..
the water level is pretty low at the moment (used to irrigate the surrounding farms i was told)
was pretty tempted to wade in for some casting distance.. but the "crocs" kept me out.. lol

i wanted to take my float tube but when I called the place we were staying at, they said don't bring it, bring a boat....

hi guys,
bel park dam can be the most fustrating dams to fish, wel known for bass and yellows, but carp and blugill can be targeted as wel, massive eel are also caught when night fishing was allowed. Fish early mornings and l8t afternoo, and u wil pick sum up esp nw that the water is low. I have never seen the croc but wil nt wade. Across the dam wal very deep, big fish. Enjoy
