Fly Fishing in the Drakensberg

Trout fishing in South Africa can be enjoyed throughout the year, but the ideal time may vary depending on the specific region and conditions.
Here are some general guidelines for trout fishing in South Africa.
Season:
The trout fishing season in South Africa typically runs from September to May, as the winter months (June to August) can be pretty cold in many areas.
Spring and Autumn:
Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are generally considered the best seasons for trout fishing. The water temperatures are moderate, and the trout are often more active during these times.
Morning and Evening:
Trout tend to be more active during the cooler parts of the day, especially in warmer months. Early mornings and evenings are often the best times to fish for trout when they are feeding near the surface.
High-Altitude Regions:
South Africa has several high-altitude regions known for their excellent trout fishing. The Drakensberg Mountains in the KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape provinces, as well as the Mpumalanga and Western Cape highlands, are popular destinations for trout fishing. These areas offer cooler temperatures and pristine rivers and lakes that support healthy trout populations.
Dams and Rivers:
South Africa has numerous dams and rivers that are stocked with trout, providing great fishing opportunities. Some well-known trout fishing destinations include the Sterkfontein Dam and nearby rivers in the Free State province, the Elandskloof Dam in Mpumalanga, and the Dullstroom area in the Mpumalanga province.
It's important to note that fishing regulations and permits vary by location, so it's always a good idea to check with local authorities or fishing organizations for specific guidelines and rules before planning your trout fishing trip.
Additionally, hiring a local guide or joining a fishing tour can be beneficial to familiarize yourself with the best spots and techniques for trout fishing in a particular area.
