Fishing around Pretoria

[Ravpan]

Hello fellow fishermen and ladies,
I was at Ifafi over the long weekend and whilst the fishing was not too great it wasn't too bad either (8 carp over 2 days). I am fairly new to the area so I will appreciate some help of safe clean venues around the Pretoria are. I've heard of footloose dam ( thanks to google). How is the fishing there currently?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks guys

i prefer sticking to the bigger waters. Ifafi is not the best fishing venue next to harties, but the best camping and child friendly facility. Next time try Meerhof or Kommandonek, even Schoemansville.

Roodeplaatdam would be your second best bet, ntvl grounds. Gets packed over weekends though so I don't fish it.

Bronkhorstspruitdam would be my third choice.

You can try rietvlei, but it is tricky water, but if you get it right, you will be rewarded.
