Fly Fishing

Fishing is reserved for guests on the farm, regret no day fishing.

where Bass rods & bait casters may be used.

Flies only, no lures.  No barbed hooks, please.

Fishing License:  rod fee's (per fisherman) will be added to each booking,
the fee is booking specific, the more people  fishing the lower the pp fee will be.
From R100 - R200 pp / stay. This includes the keeping of 1 fish per paid fisherman.

All waters with the exception of the big dam:  Fly rods only.
Children under 12 may use coffee grinders with flies.

Bring your own gear or hire in Dullstroom.

Float tubes / kick boats permitted on Loch Heron

A map will be sent via WhatsApp prior to check in showing the stocked waters, once rod fee's have been paid.

  

Trout are extremely weather sensitive fish & a sudden change in temperature or weather will put them off the bite, it may take a 3 - 4 days of consistent weather for them to start biting again.

We promote as  natural an environment as possible and do not pellet feed our fish.

May & September are our favourite times of year for Fly Fishing.
Though conditions are good in winter this is also the trout's spawning season making fishing challenging.

The drought has had an impact on the fishing and water conditions in the Dullstroom area. 
NOTE:  Stocked waters do not guarantee that you will catch a fish;  Nature
has the final say on fishing conditions.

ONLY FLY FISHING is permitted.
