Hi RolandOriginally Posted by rols
Thanks for the info. I'll give them a call. How you been ? We must get together at Eikendal sometime. Had some good fun there Friday afternoon. The evening rise at the bottom dam is great. I got the recipe for them. Let me know. Also want to fish Sandvlei sometime soon when the weather clears up a bit.
Cheers

Hi
Terence went there on the weekend of the world cup final and caught some real monsters. They caught mostly from the side. The water is very low at the moment. He might post some pics later and elaborate more.

Hi Shaun,fished there about 3 weeks back,caught plenty fish and some nice big rainbows.In the main dam there are rainbow,brown and steel-head trout.Booby flies worked well.There is nice weed growth,any fly in dark colours worked, fished deep.White death for surface action also worked well.I eventually used a flipper ( old sea pattern ) and they really smashed the fly,but it was to big and only had one pickup.I will be back with small flippers.Sliders in dark pattern should also work.My mate had most takes on black wooly buggers.Attached some pics to get your mouth watering.

Really? Sea-run rainbows??

Product of popular misconception and errant naming ... there are no steelhead in South Africa.

Thanks Terence, those are some nice sized fish!, looking forward to the trip there, caught some nice fish there to in the pass. dam looks really low! in the pics. But there has been some good rain in the past month.
Was also wondering about the whole steelhead thing?? many trout farms are claiming to be stocking there dams with steelhead?? because they can tolerate warmer waters better? or something like that?
