I found the following on another website:
I've been there a week or so ago and did not catch any bass. Did not have my boat with so I tried from the shore. No luck although my friend told me that he has caught some bass in the past. THe dam is currently very full and a lot of trees etc are under water towards the dam inflow. There should be lots of hiding placed for bass. Watch out for the crocs though. Theres lots of them and most have moved further up the river as their nesting places hve been flooded.
There has been reports of people being attacked at the dam (criminals). This mostly happens towards the dam wall and the opposite side of the dam. THe best place to go is to enter at the nature conservation gate (first gate on your right as you drive towards the dam from Marble Hall). I paid 125 rand for two adults 4 kids, you also pay per angler and if you take your boat in its also extra, ive been told that inflatables does not work too well as there is lots of sharp trees etc in the water.
Lots of people camp there over weekends and it is safe as long as you camp at Nature conservation. There is no elelctricity or running water next to the dam (where people set up camp) but there is a tuck shop and ablution block. There is a launch area for boats. Gates open at 6 am and close towards 6 pm.
So I would be carefull.
This is some info I could find:
Matlala Aloe Park
Since its inception this recently established camping site has grown in popularity and quickly established a reputation as a fisherman’s paradise. Matlala offers a launch for flotillas and boats as well as more than enough camping facilities overlooking the Flags Boshielo dam at one of the most picturesque areas of the dam. 24 hour security is available. As the facilities are in its development phase, no electricity is available at present.
Cost: R15 per person per day, R20 per vehicle, boat, trailer, R20 per camping site per day.
Tel: 082 463 3547
Fax: 013 261 2034

Hope it helps
