hi guys

being a salty ff I have had the oppertunaty to fish laakies once before, it was amazing and I would fish for trout any day if they all fight that hard with the jumps and the works.

I was on a farm today right next to lakensvlei and unfortunatly I forgot my camera otherwise I could have posted some pics of lakies from high up, trust me when I say this, it looks STUNNING and its full to the brim. I got an offer to fish lakies next week tuesday and wednesday but work is a *****. Might just still organize something...

unfortunatly I am not my own boss yet, stil busy with final arangements but as soon as I have it sorted I will be fishing for a living.
but onething is for sure, lakies is a place that has to be fished if you get the oppertunaty.

I know what you mean. I did game fishing for a living for 9 yrs. Not easy. Take some advice, do it on your own - no partners.

I have a partner and lucky he is judt as enthusiastic as I am, he knows freshwater and I know saltwater, good combination. if you are on facebook you can check out what we do, just search the group FlySouth Adventures and please let me know what you think.

Hi guys.

Whats the topography of the dam like. Is there a steady drop to the deepest point or is it shallow and then a sudden drop off. And how deep is the deepest point when the dam is at 100%

Thank Guys

Hi Jason
Check the pics that I posted as well as Chriss. Mine were taken from the hut looking down to the water. A not so gentle drop...if i may say so, but not a cliff drop off either....from the hut side. The opposite bank and right hand side of the bank looking at the water has some sheer sections.
hope this helps.
after the streams close.....lets do it

i definately think with the water so high a float tube will help. I got my first brown trout here. Peed Philip off deluxe

There is even a nice report about Lakenvlei on a Czech flyfishing website.
With 2 pictures of Lakenvlei at 98% full.

It speaks about strong fish, beautifull surroundings, drift boat fishing, Fantastic star gazing and the milky way so bright, and massive evening braais.

The correct name of the dam is "Lakenvallei" according to the Dept of Water Affairs. We have shortened to Lakenvlei.

If you look at the surrounding areas, there is no Vlei, it is a Valley. A very steep sided rocky valley.
