Wag-‘n-Bietjie Drift

This stretch of river is far away from the industrial areas near Johannesburg, it is pristine and runs clear. The fish are in excellent condition, trophy fish are caught regularly. Drifting allows access to water that few other anglers have fished, with some of the most beautiful examples of riffles and runs we have seen. There are large deep pools where largemouth Yellowfish hold tight to structure or lurk near drop-offs. Shallow glides, riffles and rapids, are home to a multitude of Smallmouth Yellowfish. There are also large grass carp and catfish to target in the varied waters.

We spend each evening at well-appointed camp sites within throwing distance of the river. The camps have excellent ablution facilities and hot showers are welcomed after a long day on the river. The tents are equipped with army-surplus beds, with mattress and are large enough to allow our guests dress and prepare for their day. Evenings are spent around the fire with cold beverages and grass-fed beef steaks straight off this working cattle farm.
