Dullstroom
R3500 per year

12 km from the village of Dullstroom we have a beautiful 6 Ha spring-fed dam. The dam is very well established, on a magnificent water source and holds its level well through the winter. It is on a working cattle farm and the grass is often fairly short. There is a lot of structure including big shallow bays and points to deep drop offs, the fishing is excellent both from the shore or a float tube. As well as trophy rainbow and brown trout, the dam was stocked many years ago with black bass. The trout gorge themselves on protein-rich bass fingerlings in the autumn as the cooling water slows down the bass' metabolism producing massive fin-perfect fish. Conversely, in the hot days of December, January and February, great action can be had catching bass in the heat of the day while waiting for the trout's evening rise.
