Dullstroom is renowned for its excellent fishing facilities and is considered the fly fishing capital of South Africa. “Fly fishing is an angling technique that uses an ultra-lightweight lure called an artificial fly, which typically mimics small invertebrates such as flying and aquatic insects to attract and catch fish. As the mass of the fly lure is insufficient to overcome air resistance, it cannot be launched far using conventional gears and techniques so specialised tackles are used instead, and the casting techniques are significantly different from other forms of angling. It is also common for the angler to wear waders, carry a hand net and stand in the water when fishing. Fly fishing primarily targets predatory fish with a significant amount of small-sized prey in their diet, and can be done in fresh or saltwater. North Americans usually distinguish freshwater fishing between cold-water species (trout, salmon) and warm-water species (notably black bass). In Britain, where natural water temperatures vary less, the distinction is between game fishing for trout and salmon versus coarse fishing for other species. Techniques for fly fishing differ with habitat (lakes and ponds, small streams, large rivers, bays and estuaries, and open ocean.)” Read more >
