hey kitefisher, i see you are in welkom. im a born and bred welkom boy, hahaha. you should give freddies dam a bash if you can get permission, and also the water treatment plant opposite flamingo vlei. the sand river also has a good head of trout, and ive heard stories of yellows there as well......not sure if its true, but wouldnt hurt to try

some great fun is corrobrick dams for bass and some MONSTER grass carp, and also good old klip-pan for barbel and carp. flamingo pan itself is not what it used to be, but im sure theres some steroid enhanced golden kings still swimming about. what about the dam at lakeside? and the waters at the slime dams on the way out past st andrews?
Hi dragondale
I'm a Virginia Boy and fish a lot in the Sand river I can asure you their is no trout in the Sand river,their is a lot of bass and nice once up to 5kg but they don't com out that often.Their are yellows in the river but very scare.I do get Carp on fly at Klippan that is fun,but if I want Yellows I go to wag 'n bietjie ( vaal ) that is the best place with big Yellows smallmouths up to 5kg and Largemouth's up to 9kg.
