Lets Go Fishing
ABOUT THE FISHING:
•
VAAL RIVER - 9km from PARYS.
•
With deep holes and rapids, Dimalachite is the ideal fishing venue for fly as well as deep-water fishing.
•
The biggest Large mouth yellow caught here on fly was 24lb.
•
Our motto is “catch and release”. So please take a nice photo, and release the fish as soon as possible.
•
We rent out rafts (if available) to paddle to the islands and rapids, or you can bring your own.
•
Met diep gate versprei oor die oewer, bied ons u die geleentheid om daardie
grote aan te keer.
•
Grootbek geelvis van tot 12kg is al hier gevang en vrygelaat, en mooi kleinbek
geelvis word gereeld aangekeer.
Koning- en volskub karp van tot 15kg vat gereeld die aas.
•
Onderbek van 3kg en baber van tot 20kg laat gereeld die katrolle sing.
Nature & Music don’t match!
•
We want our guests to get away from the hazel and stress of the city, and relax in nature with
us. Therefore we ask our guests to leave the music and noise in town, especially during the
evenings.
•
That doesn’t mean you mustn’t enjoy your stay, but please always consider your neighbours.
They also want to relax and enjoy their stay.
