Will & Dre

Fly fishing is just one of the many facets in the exciting world of fishing and late 2010 we decided to see what all the comotion is about. Joe, one of our close friends and fellow anglers recently started the beautiful sport and invited us along on a trip to Brookwood trout farm.

There are four dams on the property hosting a variety of fish species such as trout, bass, kurper and carp. The main attraction however is the trout. For our first trip we decided to merely tag along , attempt to catch a bass or two and leave the fly fishing to the experts.

The venue is an excellent training ground for beginner fly fishermen , providing them with equipment for hire and small densely populated dams. For the intermediate or professional this is perhaps not the ideal fishing spot but rather a place to relax or practice their skills.

At this beautiful location just outside of Johannesburg, you can spend your time fishing, have a picnic , braai or just relax. Facilities are spotless and your fish are cleaned and packaged, ready to go when you leave. So when I decide to one day attempt the finer art of fly fishing, I will be sure to include Brookwood trout farm as one of my frequent training grounds.
