Clarens

Hi guys

I am going to Clarens late April. Will be staying in town and was wondering where one could catch bass? Any suggestions? 

I also fly fish every now and then, so any suggested trout venues would also be appreciated.  (I suspect trout may be easier to find than bass)

Thanks

Dude,

Clarens doesn't even have a postal code, let alone a dam to fish in!!!!!

Sorry, just yanking your chain No idea mate.

I see you are on a tube and in Sandton. Are there places near Sandton that's ok for an outing on the tube? Where do you go?

Lots of trout, but I don't have good idea on bass.
I think St Fort has got bass in the dam, as well as Kloof dam

Try these places as well:
Bokpoort Holiday & Game Ranch     058 256 1181
Craigrossie Trout Lodges     058 256 1047
Joubertsvlei Fly Fishing     058 256 1189

The only place I have used my tube is Bass Lake. Quick 45min on the hiway from Sandton.

I dont really know of any other places - wish I did though.

Cheers

Hi Spinner

You are allowed to fish the dorpsdam upper town, plenty of bass. If you have a float tube you will manage plenty of action as the best spots are out of reach for the bank angler.  Good baits rush Hogg and/or Flukes fished wightless over cover.When in clarens just ask the locals how to get to the Dorpsdam.

Alternatively if you are willing to travel the area, Loch Athlone in Bethlehem is a good spot (boats allowed), Cabbage Farm between Bethlehem and Fourie'sburg is a good option, the dam is on private property and they will charge a rod fee.

Enjoy when you go. ake some picks

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I will be visiting Clarens this weekend. Can anyone suggest a good trout venue to visit?
Thank you.
