Spring Grove Dam, Natal Midlands

[JCD]

Its a stunning piece of water and has lots of potential at present no fishing or any water activity is allowed.
A bonus for me is that the section of the Mooi at my place has cleared up and the water flow and temp is more consistent - similar to the Holsloot below Stettynskloof Dam.
To answer your question its pretty much complete and nearly full you can see the dam wall in the background.

I was kind of shocked to learn that the Breede is now pretty devastated as a bass fishery. I remember catching great bass there around 15 years ago. Pretty sad what carp and barbel have done to the system.

As per Mario's post about his father in law's father, i think you need to blame more than the carp and barbel. The amount of water that the farmers extract from that river, i am suprised the carp and barbel are ok.

Yep thats also my understanding. Any people that try fish are chased off the dam. Not sure what Dept of Water and Sanitation/Umgeni Water's long term plans are re access to the public. I'll ask as I'm up there this weekend on a friends farm in the Kamberg.

I'm going to try the little mooi and perhaps Troutbaggers if I've time and can escape the family!!
