Hi
Flyfished there a couple of times. There was a couple of guys spinning, but didn't see anything biting. I caught bass on fly up to 1kg (mostly Black Woolly Buggers for what it is worth).
Entrance is R80.00 for fishing p/p last time I was there. You pay at the gate. The road to get to the dam is quite tricky, so ask at the gate for directions.
It is a really beautiful setting and you can expect to see zebra, eland, springbok and wildebeest while fishing.
Fish that I know are in the dam: Trout, bass and kurper (at least I think it is Kurper). There are also ablution facilities as well as a picnic spot.

Hi trd
Just read your post about Wiesenhof. Did you get any fish on your trip? I was there a few times, but not to fish cos it was in the winter. I would like to go next week tho. Gonna take the wife for a picnic, or thats what she thinks, ha ha.
The lake looks awesome, some nice structures for bass. The caretaker guy says there's quite a bit of fish there. the smaller dam below the main dam is the bomb tho. Its a bit tricky to get close to the water tho. What lures did you use?

lost a huge bass on the wall of the first dam.Hi all,have fiswed there about 10 times the last 2 months,fishing is good,the big fish obviously being tight into the structure,Junebug and Greenpumpkin texasrigged flukes were working for us,but the water will probably be clearer now so try colours such as watermelon seed and watermelon red.The small dam below the maindam probably produces the biggest fish,i was there last week and my friend landed a nice largie of 2kg's and i gt wrapped up and then as ussual the smaller fish too,but atleast it keeps you bussy.
hey ther ...i'm new to this webpage but i have fished wiesenhof, the big dam offered sum decent fishing; ive managed to enjoy 3 decent bass at this dam. they were caught on watermelon pumpkinseed coloured plastics; flukes,brushogs and smaller lizzards; another effective lure has been watermelon caterpillar... oh n ther were few blokes chucking spinnerbaits into the open water...all of the fish i manged to catch were sitting deep in the structure... good luck =)

hi, is wiesenhof closed for good or just for the season?
I phoned and spoke to a lady there - its closed until further notice - and she had no idea when that further notice would be! She said they had trouble with people coming in any time of the day and night, not paying and leaving litter etc around. Just general inconsiderate and vandal type behaviour. People spoiling it for the rest of us, again.

yes i can tell you who and what that kind of people are!!!!!!!!!!!!!
these people don't respect nature and don't care about a thing, leaving the guys like us with nothing behind, many places closed because of this kind of behavior. it rips me apart!!!
I'm new to the boland region, and to fly fishing, i would like to know where i can do fly fishing for trout that is very forgiving, and not too expensive too visit for a day?

You can go to Radloff Park in Somerset West (Lourens River) its free and GREAT FUN catching trout on fly there,average trout is about 20 cm but there are the odd 1kg trout swimming around.
I love catching wild trout in rivers, way more fun and more rewarding!
Good Luck!
