Howzit Carpkiller,

Grootdraai dam is just after Standerton.
From Midrand, you drive on the Highway towards Heidelberg.
Take the Balfour Off-Ramp (R23), Turn left and continue on that road until you reach Standerton. The first Robot you get to in Standerton, turn left (R50). At the T-juntion at the end of that road, turn right (R39). Where exactly at Grootdraai do you want to go to?

Grass and Hyasinth not a big issue. Carp fishing is excellent, lots of muddies, and lots of big Barbel.

Dips that work well. Carp - Vaaldam, Ebony, Caramel, Almond and Rose. Muddies - Red Onion dip, Garlic, Duiwelsdrek.
Barbel - Platanna, Muddie or Carp head, day old chicks.

You are looking at about 200km from Midrand to the dam.
You can phone the Angling club to find out if they have anything on that weekend, otherwise I am sure they will help you. You can also call the Standerton (Gert Sibanda/e - something like that) Municipality, they will also assist you with the public camping area at the dam.

No Problem. I used to fish leagues and trails at Grootdraai dam.

Hallo daar. Ek wil graag die naweek 'n karavaan sleep tot by die Grootdraai dam of iewers naby. Blykbaar kan jy nie by die Angling & Boat klub inkom nie. Kan iemand help?

Die beste pad is neem die N17 tollpad, en draai af by Kinross (aanwysers is Sasol Garage bo by T aansluiting) draai regs en ry reguit tot by Standerton vanaf die Oosrand is dit 165km.

Maak jou self net gereed om baie geelvis te vang hulle is pes in grootdraai dam.
