    I'm thinking of driving out there this weekend since i will be in the area. Also like to know if it's worth it.

    Eish bru, never been there!!! Maybe try phoning the tackle shops. They might have got word of how the venues is fishing?

    Cant wait for summer again and an opportunity to get some salty fish again!!!

    Its been such a long time since I was able to throw a line in the salt and catch a decent salty fish

    Stillwater steelheads
    Awesome.. guess this means those yellow goldfish in my garden pond are actually yellowfish

    Are you guys not being confused by the parr marks?
    Cause its no state secret that a steelhead is simply a sea run Rainbow trout. So I just dont get how the fingerlings could be sea run? Because if for arguments sake you had a steelhead that spawned and then hatched the roe they would still be rainbow trout. Could the chap perhaps mean landlocked salmon, as there were some of them brought into the country a few years backed and stocked up Pilgrims Rest way?

    Kêk man! they are Steelheads - Finish en klaar. They were stocked outside Boksburg in a dam and somehow found their way to the sea up the road. I think they might be related to the Koi's at Sun City's Cabannas who also found their way to the Valley of Waves...

    Can someone please do a Search-and-Replace on the entire Internet on matters regarding Steelhead? The current perception needs to be fixed!!
