FLY FISHERMEN
Fishermen enjoy the unrivalled opportunities to catch rainbow trout along our 2.5km stretch of the Umzimkulu. Should the river conditions be unfavorable, there are several trophy dams nearby open to guests and additional water to hire from the local Club. The rivers are open from 01/09 to 31/05. Dams are however open for year round fishing enjoyment.

CANOEISTS & KAYAKERS
