LAVERPA, OUR TROUT DAY WATERS WITH A BIG REPUTATION

Trophy brown trout less than 10 mins from the Dullstroom village centre.

THE WATERS

These trout day waters consists of three, crystal clear, well-stocked dams just 7km’s out of Dullstroom. We have offered fishing on these iconic waters for over 20 years now. The dams are all around 1ha with good structure, consisting of channels, reed and weed beds, banks and drop-offs, with a productive inlet bay in each. The fishing is rewarding, with some bigger fish (5-7lb) landed at times. While this is not our trophy dam our best rainbow was a cock fish measuring 79 cm. In addition to that several browns of over 8 pounds have been landed and safely released. Dry-fly fishing enthusiasts will relish the opportunity to target trout exclusively on this technique. A slight ripple from wind provides the perfect transitionary structure for cruising trout willing to pick off a stray terrestrial. More so Laverpa has developed a reputation in the past few years for having terrific midday dry fly eats.

TACKLE & TACTICS FOR MONSTER TROUT

Long leaders and smaller flies are recommended for the clear water, and a stealthy approach will give you the advantage. A dry-and-dropper is exceptionally effective in all of the dams. A large, buoyant dry fly with a small midge or nymph suspended underneath will elicit takes from even the most skittish trophy trout.
