COUNTRY: South Africa
AREA: Mpumalanga
General
The legendary trout triangle is made up of the towns of Belfast, Machadodorp, Dullstroom, Waterval-Boven and Lyndenburg. This area is a mecca for fly fishing and, as aresult, facilities are well developed for tourists and locals. Sabie and Pilgrim's rest are two other prime fishing sites.
Trout are not indigenous to the area and, as legend has it, the fish were introduced into the dams and riversaround Dullstroom some 80 years ago by the local postmaster (Mr Gurr) and a watchmaker (Mr Braun). These trout-rich waters now allow for dam and river angling to satisfy the fussiest of anglers.
Hatcheries in Mpumalanga prouce 60% of South Africa's trout for the retail market. These hatcheries also ensure that the dams and rivers remain well stocked. They provide stock for the European market too.
Rainbow and Brown trout are found happilky gliding through the water in most dams and rivers. These are definately highlights on the fishing calender1!
Apart from fishing guides and trips, you can arrange for one-on-one lessons as well as advice sessions.
