Fly Fishing Trout River Falls lies in the heart of the fly-fishing region in Mpumalanga. We have three dams and a 2km stretch of the Dorpsriver which offers excellent trout fishing opportunities for both novice and experienced fisherman. Two of our dams are managed and stocked on a frequent basis to ensure prime fishing conditions for all our guests. Trout River Falls only offers Catch and release. Please take note of the rules below: The meaning of 'Catch and release' is when a fish is caught and then returned to the water unharmed so that it survives and continues its existence in its natural environment. The guidelines below explain how to do this: • Use barbless hooks (barbed hooks can be made barbless by pinching the barb with pliers) • Use a strong rod and line to bring a fish under control quickly • Before fishing, think about where a fish might be landed • Keep the fish in the water and avoid beaching or dragging it up a steep bank before release • Once hooked, bring the fish to hand or net as quickly as possible - this will reduce stress and exhaustion and make sure the fish is able to recover quickly • Keep handling time to a minimum • Keep the fish in the water at all times as keeping the fish out in the air for a long time will mean it might not survive • Make sure your hands are wet before handling fish • Avoid squeezing the fish • Use pliers to remove hooks • If hooks are too deep and removal will lead to damage or delayed release, cut the line as near to the hook as possible • Support the fish in the water • Be patient as the fish can take several minutes to recover • Wait until the fish recovers enough to swim away from you • High water temperatures (over 21 degrees Celsius) can greatly reduce survival rates, so anglers should take extra care when practising catch and release when water is low and water temperatures are high. Fishing Rules • Trout River Falls is a Fly Fishing only venue • Only one rod is allowed in the water at any one time. • A maximum of 2 flies may be used. • Trout River Falls promotes catch and release only. • Wading is allowed at the anglers own risk. • Please complete the catch return logbook as this assists us with stocking and water management. • Trout River Falls is a wildlife farm so please respect our wild animals and leave only your footprints behind when you leave the water
