Bankberg Troutfishers Club

The Bankberg Troutfishers Club manages six still waters and a section of the Little Fish River. These fly fishing only waters consist of Bestershoek Dam, Mountain Dam, the three Glen Avon Farm dams, the 90m Glen Avon Falls and the Naudes River, Buffelshoek Dam and the pools on the Little Fish River. Bestershoek dam is situated next to the Somerset East golf course in an amphitheatre created by the Boschberg Mountain. It is a spectacular setting, and very accessible as it is only 5 minutes from Somerset East, by motorcar. The Glen Avon Dams are also accessible by motorcar, and are 15 minutes from the Angler & Antelope in Somerset East. Mountain dam is on top of the Boschberg Mountain, and is the premier water of the Bankberg Troutfishers Club. Mountain dam is not accessible by normal motorcar, as a higher clearance is required. This dam is considered one of the best for fly-fishing for trout in South Africa, where prolific mayfly and caddis hatches occur.
