    Default Kloppenheim... hmmm...

    So, I thought I'd treat the wife and take her to Kloppenheim Country Estate in Dullstroom...(there's a spa, etc...but also some fishing... )
    So I call to find out for accomodation and reservations...this was the reply from the receptionist at Kloppenheim...

    "Unfortunately we cennot help you at this time, we arra on strike..."

    Wonderful...

    PS: It's also a popular wedding venue...and the place is "larney"...now imagine you had your wedding there right now...

    What about Nooitgedacht? There's a few travelling beauticians (that's not a euphamism for prossie btw) in the Dullies area who will come out to wherever you are and do manicures, facials, massages etc. Walkersons might also be an idea...

    Nooitgedaght is a good idea...plus I have a contact for good rates there...

    Hi Guys,

    Anyone been to Kloppenheim near Dullstroom lately? I know in 2013 the fishing was pretty cr@p there...hadn't stocked for a long time. Wondering if the fishing had improved, or if they have since stocked properly.

    Cheers for info

    Him and his wife moved into town after the previous owners of Troutbeck sold...he is still in charge of the stocking and fish management on Trout Beck and a lot of the dams in the area...he is a machine that old ballie...

    Not what he told me but whatever... He was actually curious as too how fishing had been over the last 6 months.

    He does the stocking at Jansen's, the syndicate dam.
