Immerse yourself in the world of trout fly fishing on a 2km exclusive river frontage at Welgemoed Trout Lodge. This stretch of pristine river, presenting the perfect spot for a quick pre-dinner cast during the evening rise, is exclusively available for our guests.

It’s a well-known fact that the surrounding area boasts some of the finest wild trout and yellow-fish fishing in the country, with both putting up a good fight.

Introduced into these river systems over 80 years ago, the trout here have flourished and now breed naturally. These fish typically average between 10 and 14 inches, but don’t be surprised if you encounter a formidable 18 to 22-inch giant hiding in the deep undercurrents.

Spread over 300km of pristine, crystal-clear river frontage in the Rhodes and Barkley East districts, trout fly fishing enthusiasts will find themselves spoiled for choice. Experience the thrill and challenge of angling in one of the most scenic, trout-rich waters in the country at Welgemoed Trout Lodge.

The rivers originate 10000 ft above sea level as pure freestone and rock-based highland streams. Some of the fishable rivers include: Bell River, Kraai River, Bokspruit, Riflespruit, Sterkspruit, Kloppershoekspruit, Karringmelkspruit and Vloeikraalspruit.
