Fly Fishing in Stanford – It’s a Rainbow Wopper Dad! \
By
Just outside Stanford, on the road to Salmonsdam Nature Reserve, you’ll find a dam with a view at “Vaalvlei”, stocked with Rainbow Trout for the budding enthusiast to practice their skills and learn to master the art of fly-fishing.
Recently, one of those enthusiastic amateurs (name withheld due to embarrassment factor) and under the expert tuition of Peter Ground, who came out for an afternoon’s fishing and relaxation with his family, managed to hook not only his first Rainbow Trout, but 2 bushes out behind himself and an ear lobe! Didn’t you hear? Flies are all the rage now in the body piercing world!
Owners of Vaalvlei, Naas and Elsabe de Villiers, hail from the Porterville region and bring to Stanford, amongst many other things, their extensive knowledge of frogs & years of experience with Bonsai plants, which “are now growing exceptionally well in the Stanford area. They are offering locals and tourists alike, private fishing for the day on their farm, at R100 per person for two trout, no catch and release is permitted. Their entrance is opposite the gates of Oak Grove Farm self-catering accommodation.
Rainbow Trout - Pan fry it, bake it, braai it, grill it or smoke it, either way you’ll enjoy it… it’s delicious!
