Author Topic: KZN Midlands Wild Trout? (Read 16496 times)

Hi guys, over the Easter weekend I am going to a mates sugar cane farm, there are 2 farm dams with bass, but there is a "wild stream" running through the property, what are the chances that this stream holds wild trout or yellows? Any one willing to take an educated guess? Or have any info on where wild trout in the midlands area occur?

If its a tributary of the Mooi River then there is a possiblity !

if it closer to the coast than say howick/nottingham road then def no trout, possibly yellows..

all depends on location.

WK Maybe yellows and possibly vlei kurpers but no trout. I may be wrong but it's up to you to prove it.

Happy

More likely to find raw sewage , rubble and informal settlement floaters

Good point, im on it!!!

WK - you might find scalies, kurper, bass and barbel in that stream. Best place for wild trout are the Mooi River, Loteni, Bushmans, and any of the small streams close to Cathedral Peak. Requires a bit of driving though....
