    Default Day fishing venue - Cradle of humankind

    I heard about a place near the old Rainbow trout farm in that has a similar set up, with Carp and bass dams for catch and release, as well as the trout (catch and kill presumably,) it is not brookwood, does any body know the name or contact details of such a place?

    Hi Guys

    Yes been there. Catch and keep. Two dams. One under trees, saw movement, o fish caught. And a bigger open dam. Caught one stocky. Saw quite a bit of movement, rises etc, but the wind was really bad.No shop or anything, so take your own. Place to make a braai etc. Nothing special, but it beats the overcrowded nature of the Bryanston one. Nice pub there though.(Bryanston)

    Rather take a drive to Magaliesburg or out to Bronkhorstspruit, more value.

    Regards
    I still don't know why I fish or why other men fish, except we like it and it makes us think and feel.

    Which venues do you know of near Magaliesburg (aside from Magalies Barbus Haven) and Bronkhorstspruit ?
