HAY...
I've been to Ruimsig like 30 times but never caught a thing!!!..ITS a morning dam!...smallish...and over fished i believe!!..the biggest problem is that people keep about every fish they catch!...heavy presure on the dam...
but, saw some nice fish coming out of that dam.. rumour has it that it was/is apart of the roodepoort club?! dont think that its true ...
deisel, do you catch there often? caught anything nice there? tips?...maybe i can go and break my BLANK streak at that dam!!!...
and asfar as i know, its a safe place!!!

yip its part of that #@$%^$## club that charges 150 rand a year for a permit and its only valid till dec even if you buy it in nov, bloody rubbish if you ask me, yea i caught the fish in my pic there last week, but you see no one fishes barbel there, so im hoping its full up, i know alberts farm is, i fish there alot, dont keep the fish though , to many mny ppl piss in that dam . i catch there often, but early morning like you said, tips well dont piss in the wind, that probably the most usefull thing i can say about ruimsig, i just get i spose, caught that fish on a 1 ounce rattle trap, let me know when you going there again ill join you!!!
Im new to the site and was just browsing, came across the ruimsig discussion. i've fished the dam a few times-only had about 2 or 3 decent days there (by decent i mean 3/4 fish) fishing is usually quite hard there, as previously mentioned in the forum, a lot of people remove the fish there. still a nice place to go after work if u in the area. i've attached a pic of of fish from the dam, nothing special, but a bass only 10 min from home-definately worth it!

u clearly changed ur pic since the original post, pls post a pic of the bass. Funny that I came across this old post when I was searching for sumting else. Need to clear up a few thinhs. NO license required, its a municpal dam and doesn't belong to any club! I have been fishing Ruimsig over 8 years now and never have I seen anyone, heard of anyone or myself caught Barbel there! There used to be sum nice Carp, but yes the papgooiers remove them grrrrrrrr. Used to catch nice Bass there and a few odd Breams ( Blou Kurper ) but nothing of any size! Its a diff day dam to catch but not bad for a night session. Always get nice sizers Carp if you know the spots. Not too safe there either with the squatter camp a few meters away, but ok if you 2 guys and stay awake during night, or sleep around the clock like me and buddy does.
Ps: the crabs just love Mono at Ruimsig, and there's thousands of them!
