WILD FLY FISHING IN THE KAROO

Eastern Cape, South Africa
Fishing in the Karoo? Yes, Wild Fly Fishing in the Karoo!
Somerset East is an oasis close to the eastern boundary of the Karoo. Even
though the Karoo is always imagined as semi-desert, it is far more diverse than
that. Somerset East has four biomes within 20km of the town. These biomes
include Savannah, Grassveldt, Karoo and Indigenous Forest. The Boschberg
Mountain that hugs the town of Somerset East also creates a microclimate, which,
under normal circumstances, provides us with an average of 30 inches of rain
each year. In good rainy seasons, fifteen waterfalls can be seen from the town
of Somerset East on the Boschberg Mountain.
The Angler & Antelope has secured exclusive access to several dams and stretches
of river in the Somerset East district for fly fishing. When you fly fish these
exclusive Angler & Antelope waters, you will experience the majesty of the Karoo,
with no interruptions - well, except maybe a trophy sized trout at the end of
your fly line!
Although the indigenous smallmouth yellowfish have been in the Little Fish River
for some time, the locals have only recently cottoned on that they are great
sport to catch on fly. The yellowfish are obliging enough and can be caught in
summer as well as winter. The Angler & Antelope has exclusive access to fly fish
on over 25km of the Little Fish River, and offers excursions as far as Cradock
for targeting these fantastic indigenous fish.
Our in-house R.E.F.F.I.S. accredited guide, Alan Hobson, will make your Wild fly
fishing in the Karoo a memorable experience.
