Valley lakes- Ndawana river (Curragh Lake)

[MZeee]

Hi All


Iv booked accommodation for December , new years eve weekend , just to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the city life over the festive period. I will be carrying the fly rod and would like to know if anybody's fished this venue before (Vally lakes-Ndawana river in drakensburg)?


1. What can I expect to catch in the river and lake at this time of the year?
2. What sort of flies should I carry?
3. Any other information I should know considering iv only ever caught one trout back in 2012.




Thanks

Hi I've never fished that river but the Bushmans river which is also part of the bergs, you should catch brown trout. Tackle wise a 3wt with floating line.
Flies :
Dry - Hoppers, RAB, Red Humpy's, Wulf Iresistable and Adams all small like size 14-18
Nymphs - ZAK, GHRE and PTN, natural colours and all small size 16-20

Tippet 5x - 7x

Hope this helps.
