Hi guys, im a very keen bass fisherman.
I live in the waterkloof area and i would like to know if anyone has fished the waterkloof quarry recently, hows the fishing is it safe?
Secondly i would like to know if anyone knows how to get access to the pretoria country club dam.

Any info would be appreciated.

last time i heard it was not safe as there is people living there...

country club, you have to be a member or go with a member.

Do you perhaps no anyone that is a member that i can ask to go with for some bassing?

no i dont. ut search the forum, there is a few posts of guys that go carping there. Maybe also try struben dam?

Why don't you fish Rietvlei for bass?

I will try rietvlei sometime, im more interested in struben dam ? how is the bass there , is the water a bit better since that time all the fish in the dam died ? And if it is worth a try , does anyone know what works there ?

Bass at Struben is at a minimum at the moment, i fish there very often and havent had that much luck with the bass.

In any case the bass are nothing to brag about, ave size at round the 300-500g barrier so not worth the hours you will be putting in

My son got this one at WK quarry the other day - 2 kg.

How long ago precisely and how do you get in there these days, does it cost anything, how safe is it nowadays?
And if you dont mind me asking, what did he catch it on ? its a VERY NICE catch

@ JFT 

Think it was 23 January 2016

We did not pay any entance fee and guy at the gate / building  - just nodded us through. Fish was caught first cast on a 5" cane stick - blue flake sapphire. Was there for about an hour - no other takes.

There were some sqatters on the left bank doing their washing. Dunno how safe it is but we were not disturbed.

Thanks, ill try it sometime

Does anyone know how to get into the quarry with the new fencing thats up, i drove around the whole quarry and only found a locked gate, behind it was a path leading to a guard house and then the dam. When i came to the opposite side i thought th quarry was probably closed but then i saw two cars beside the dam and a few people fishing from the bank and someone fishing from a small dingy.
Please tell me how to get in??
