Trout Fishing In Dullstroom

Fly fishing is an angling method of catching trout or salmon using artificial flies, made out of natural materials such as hair or feathers and other synthetic materials to attract fish targets. Nowadays, it is more common to find plastic and other synthetic artificial flies. Flies can be made either to float or sink and vary in sizes and colours.

Fly fishing can be done in either fresh water or salt water and while it was initially performed to catch trout or salmon, it can be used to catch other species of fish such as carp, pike or bass. Fly fishing enthusiasts, of all ages and of different levels of experience in this activity will find great pleasure in Dullstroom.

Dullstroom trout fishing facilities rank among the best in South Africa, offering excellent fresh water and river fishing, so much so that it is known as the capital of fly fishing. Trout was first introduced in the 1900s in this region as its cool waters and sub-alpine climate provided the ideal conditions for it.

Rainbow trout and brown trout are very commonly found in the dams and natural breeding occurs in the rivers.
