Recently we began stocking Darter Dam, next to the stables, with Tilapia & Bass and we encourage families to fish here, catch and release. Please bring along your own rods and lures.
Trout fishing is available in the cooler months in 3 dams situated in the hills behind the resort; Cowslip Falls Dam, Top Dam & Wattle Dam. The dams are stocked annually. Catch and release is encouraged. Please bring along your own rods and flys.
Hi i wanted to know if you allow day fishing? For day visiters
Hi Olivia
Many thanks for the message. Regrettably, fishing is for in-house guests only.
Best wishes,
Megan
Good morning,
Is it possible to hire fishing gear for kids (beginners), 8 and 5 years old?
Many thanks!
Hi Linda
Many thanks. We have responded on email but have stopped hiring out gear because of the expense of the many repairs…
Warm wishes
Megan
do you provide lessons?
Hi Vanee
Unfortunately not.
Warm wishes,
Megan
Good day
We will be staying in central Drakensberg in the March holidays and I’d like to gift hubby with a trout fishing day. Where are you based and could you kindly provide me with costs involved.
Hi Karin
We are based in the Northern Drakensberg but fishing would be for residents only.
I am not sure whereabouts you are staying but I believe the river fishing in the southern berg is very good.
You could possibly approach KZN Wildlife? I am not sure if this is offered by them in different places in the berg?
With best wishes,
Megan
Hi
Just checking – is your trout dams stocked.
Are they in easy walking distance from the hotel.
Can’t imagine coming to the berg and not wetting a line
Many thanks
Marius
Hi Marius
The trout dams are up in the mountains, about a 15 minute walk but certainly worth the effort.
More recently we have stocked the closer dams with bass and tipalia which keeps the children well entertained.
Best wishes,
Megan
Hi. Do you have fishing equipment for hire or must I bring my own
Hi Nitesh

Good morning, float tubing allowed on any of the dams
Hi Sean
You are welcome to use a floating tube on our dams. Please just note that they are mountain dams are are not huge and they are a short walk from the hotel.
