Title: Day venues
Post by: rockspider on June 09, 2015, 04:53:43 PM
Hi Guys,
I will be spending a few days in Joburg from the 14th - 28th of June and would like to wet a line, it has been too long. 
I was a regular at Jurassic Park in Dullies years ago and looking for something similar or some yellow's venues.
Unfortunately , I am not in a position to pay for a guide as I have done in the past.

Please let me know if you can offer any suggestions for the following :
Any feedback or ideas appreciated.

Thanks
eug

Hello Daar




Try this place www.emhlangeni.co.za (http://www.emhlangeni.co.za) I have been there a few times
With the season it is only for trout as the bass are off the bite

Hi

You can also try Brookwood trout farm (+27 11 957 0126) - they have a couple of dams including bass or Kloofzicht. With it being a bit on the colder side you might have to work a bit for bass.

(https://www.google.com/maps/vt/data=RfCSdfNZ0LFPrHSm0ublXdzhdrDFhtmHhN1u-gM,e1SehSgQfgVgkMz2H-yfvpgKlnh0_tiZ836hqUkOz3Tx3_zhTfADac-9clVz1naQbCaB_Kl8t33FwVmWnTEr1EW0PTw_XkHIHmYxc2bzh1jlS64enGxTGlECEREbXZyu5M8y)

Attached is a map of the area, Kloofzicht is on the t - junction leading to Brookwood.

Another venue to consider is Oxbow Country Estate arguably Gauteng’s premier trout venue . One needs to book as they limit their day visitors and fishing days . Have a look at  http://www.oxbowestate.co.za/fly_fishing.html (http://www.oxbowestate.co.za/fly_fishing.html)

They do day visitors but it is strictly controlled .
 
Best would be to take the Mrs/family and spend a night or two there . Top class accommodation , brilliant catering and 9 dams to fish (  drinks golf cart that you can have a cold one delivered to the waters edges  w;k  )

sounds brilliant. As I get older the idea of missioning for a cold one is less and less appetising.
Will drop them a mail now.
