Fly Fishing

Salpeterkrans is suitable for all levels of fly fishing. The avid fly fisherman has some 10km of the Klip River as well as the Kingfisher dam at his disposal when visiting the Estate. The river holds populations of wild and stocked brown and rainbow trout. The topography of the estate ensures the formation of long deep pools like these, an ideal holding spot for trout as well as exiting fast running water.

Trout breed on the gravel river beds during cold winter months. The cool water from the Steenkamps mountain catchment area, ensures longer hours of fishing i.t.o their feeding pattern. Each cottage has a bag limit of six fish per weekend, while catch and release is allowed.

The fish in the river jump and put up a ferocious fight that will boost any one's adrenaline level.
