Fishing & Fly-fishing

The Sabie river, and all its tributaries above the Sabie waterfall, is declared trout water. The Sabie Trout Angling Club stock 7 km of the river with rainbow and brown trout to supplement the natural breeding population of trout in the river. This section of the Sabie river is arguably the best river fly-fishing venue for trout on public waters in the Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces. Non club members need to purchase daily rod permits, obtainable from a number of businesses and accommodation establishments in town. Fly-fishers also have to be in possession of a provincial trout angling license. Strictly fly-fishing tackle and artificial flies only.
For more info see the Sabie Trout Angling Club page. Fishing for trout is also available at a number of small dams at the Horseshoe Trout Farm. Fishing tackle can be rented and any bait may be used. The fish caught are charged by the kilogram. Excellent fishing venues for Bass, Carp, Catfish, & Tilapia include the da Gama, Klipkoppie, Longmere, Orighstad, Primkop and Witklip dams - all of which are but a short drive from Sabie.
