Vaalvlei Farm for flyfishing, near Stanford, Overberg
The Vaalvlei working farm, just 9km from Stanford, is set in the Klein River Mountains, with awesome views. But, more than that, this is an excellent fly fishing spot, with rainbow trout, brown trout and bass in two spring fed lakes.
It is also ideal to take any enthusiastic youngster, who can fish for bluegill and tilapia in the smaller dam. Float tubes and waders welcome and only barbless hooks should be used.
Catches can be purchased.
There are two cozy, self-catering cottages within a stone’s throw of the lakes.
