Excellent fishing
... Brown trout were last stocked in the river
above the Maletsunyane waterfall in the early 1970’s.
These fish can grow up to 3kg in size. Below the waterfall
the river has Rainbow trout. ONLY FLY-FISHING IS PERMITTED
and a policy of releasing as many fish as possible must
be adhered to. The trout season is closed from the month
of May through September.
Suggestions:
• walk to the bottom of the waterfall to fish...
• do the trout fishing trek, which takes you
downstream to generally unfished sections
of the river...
• fish the river section above the waterfall to
below the hydropower station weir...
Yellow fish
can be caught in the Senqunyane River so do the pony
trek
or a 4 x 4 trip into this beautiful gorge.
The endangered
Red Finned Minnow has also been stocked
in the
upper reaches of the Maletsunyane River and are thriving.
This is not
a hatchery - the fish have to be caught! Fly fishing
equipment
may be rented from reception.
