divernick Posted January 19, 2016 Share They sell fishing tickets and one may fish at certain dams. This is according to an email I got yesterday from Northern Farms management. He couldn't tell me what fish are there though, but it's catch and release. I'm hoping there's bass..... Eldron and Pieter1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni Posted January 19, 2016 Share catch and release.I was wondering if you guys were thinking of catching for the plate ... considering it's a working sewarage farm ... i've seen people wondering around with rods but nothing hardcore setup.

Dusty Posted February 10, 2016 Share You can get angling tickets on webticket. Have seen so decent barble whilst cycling past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sitting@89 Posted October 20, 2019 Share They sell tickets on webtickets still. Couple of questions by way of mini survey. 1. Would you (if these waters were managed well) be willing to pay a premium to fish them?2. How much would you be willing to pay?3. How often would you fish these waters?

How often would you fish these waters?All 3 of those questions would have the same answer... it depends.If the fishing is really good and its a safe spot with a variety of fish then Im sure people would be willing to pay. I fished a trout farm for lack of a better term just outside JHB a few years ago, it was pretty expensive but the fishing was good and you pretty much knew you were going to catch something, so people gladly paid. It was bust as heck there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting@89 Posted October 21, 2019 Share The idea would be to see if there is room for collaboration between diepsloot residents and other steakholders to start stocking the dams with bass and to charge around R130 for a day pass to fish there.

Paul Ruinaard Posted October 21, 2019 Share would it not be a place where you could farm fish - they grow fast in "nutrient rich" waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knocking the nf idea but are there plans for these kinds of things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
