Hi guys,

I'm looking for a dam near Stellenbosch where I can try my luck. I know there's a lot of private dams with good fish in it, but I don't know the owners, so that doesn't help me.

Does anyone know of a dam that is open to the public/permit holders?

You can try Wiesenhoff dam. There is a day charge. But some good fish there.

Hi, damn i wish I was still at Varsity in Sbos! miss that place!

but you can also try Fisher Haven, some awesome smallies and bigmouth! its managed by GT40(send him a PM) so its safe!

I find that if you see a dam, go to the owners house, meet him personally and tell him what you want to do and that you catch & release bla bla bla... worst that could happen is him saying NO....then go to the next dam...

goodluck

fischer haven is R40 a day, fishing from the side a good but if you have a inflatable of some kind even better.
you can also try technopark just outside stellenbosch, there is a small dam there but ive never fished there.
if you want to go for trout go to jonkershoek trout farm there are a few small dams.

Jonkershoek nature reserve has a huge dam with Trout, Carp and some Bass. Permit at the gate R20 per rod and you can keep yr fish. Saw Trout caught on curried flour balls.

Wiesenhof has 4 dams with rowing boats at R80 per rod. Plenty Bass. Unspoiled and quiet.

Klein Bottelary (Fiusher haven) has been mentioned.

Eikendal for fly fishing.

Mooiplaas next to Klein Bottelary. Free and I've heard its fruitfull.

Enjoy.

George.

Hi all,
I am pondering to go and throw some lures around tomorrow (dunno morning / afternoon yet) and combine it with picnic with the ladies.

Anyone been to Jonkershoek Nature Reserver recently? What’s the bass fishing like there?
