Urban Flyfisher dam

[henkvb]

Hi Guys

I got a mail from Urban Flyfisher's some time last week regarding a dam that they had exclusive access to in the Westand area. Does anyone have any info on this whether its a members-only dam or whether day visitors are allowed there?

Thanks

i spoke to the guys a while back about that dam...

it is exclusively a members dam and you have to book ahead of time. if you take a visitor i think you pay extra for him/her.

limited membership available

Hi Gazza

Thanks for that, do you have any idea where this dam is situated?

It's the Bersig dam, between Kloofzig and Brookwood.

I've actually fished the Bergsig dam quite a lot but I have to say that I had more blank days ito trout than I've actually caught. The owners / previous owners seemed much more bothered with the "huge" carp that the papgooiers were apparently pulling out of there with their floaties.
Does anyone have any idea if this dam will now be properly stocked with trout as I had a conversation with the previous owners and they told me that they stocked it every few years with about 100 fingerlings??

the guys at urban are going to maintain it properly now hey...

i'm not sure what their plans are ito stocking etc, but the policy will be mostly C&R, no browns may be kept. the annual fee is quite high, so i'm sure they will be stocking more regularly.

their focus will most definitely be more on the trout now than the previous owners'. so im sure that the fishing will be better than your previous outings.

the only thing would be finding someone who is a member so you can go and fish there
