HI Jasper,
I have heard about this dam, but never found anyone interested to go look see with me.
Hey! Bruno, have you fished Lakefarm? Plenty of carp and bass right on your doorstep. Outskirts of P.E., near Colleen Glen.

in my Grahamstown days there used to be very good Bass angling in Alicedale Dam .. does this still exist???
I always wanted to be somebody,but now I realize I should have been more specific.

I fished Alicedale Dam once, the water was green and unattractive, didn't catch any bass, only barbel. Never went back.
Thanks Kev, I was thinking when I fished Van Staden's mouth that it would be fun to do a recce down by the old bridge, never ot around to it though.
Lekker, whereabouts is it ?
Loerie was nice and muddy when I was there a month ago, a leftover from the rains the previous weeks/months. Saw a MASSIVE monitor lizard in the black waters of a pool in the trib that flows into Loerie.
Was looking for access to the Kouga/Paul Sauer dam too at one stage, picked up a few under the dam wall in some of the stagnant pools there.

HI,
You have to come via Uitenhage to get to Groendal (about 20 odd km), very scenic dam. I have even seen a leopard come to drink while fishing on my kickboat. Old Samuel says he has met a few as well on his way to town on his bicycle. I bet he popped a wheely all the way. He he.

Hey Bruno,
Eye these fish I and the local guys caught and released in this dam. The smallest one was 2.8 kg, and was his first fish ever over 1kg.
The others exceeded 3.5kg, with the largest 4.1kg (71cm)
Unbelievable fish from the middle of the Karoo there Dave. Well done on your initiative in finding these waters and stocking them. I'm not completely surprised though, there are some tall mountains between Graaff Reinet and Somerset East (Winterburg I think?). And I believe there are still trout in a couple of rivers there.
