I have been all the way up to the top, I know I posted a hole thing on the river, quite in depth, but I can't find it...

There is an old Trout Hatchery up there, it is now owned by 2 old ladies and a shot gun... the river is fed from a perpetual spring and even in low rainfall seasons, it still flows quite nicely. The source of the river is not far above BH, but there is a huge weir where they pull water off, into a furrow for the framers, this can pull allot of water off, and some times there is little water left in the stream...

Wish I could find the post...

Mike, do you have the co-ords for this place? I would like to Google it to see how this place looks.

As per another thread, I used to catch browns in the Klip in late 70s/80s but that's all gone now as Mike says - different types of browns there now..
