Fishing spots for anglers in Cape Town and the Western Cape area are in abundance and include places ideal for both sea and freshwater angling all year round. For those looking to go Carp angling there are some great dams with campsites and some beautiful spots along the Breede river. A popular spot for anglers and families to visit all year round is Theewaterskloof dam near Villiersdorp. This massive dam is a great place to fish in the right conditions and a safe environment for families with children to spend weekends or holidays camping. Prices are very reasonable as well.
Those looking for good sea fishing spots in Cape Town and around the Western Cape will find a plethora of beaches and rock areas from which to fish from. The fact that the Atlantic ocean is on the one side of the Province with the Indian ocean on the other side means there is a wide variety of species and sizes of fish to be caught. The other advantage to having a choice of angling in one ocean to the other is that very often the weather conditions can be more favourable in False Bay for instance, than a place like Langebaan on the same day and vice versa.
Some people are keen on fly fishing and rivers or dams on wine farms in the region are among the top choices for many fly fishermen and women. Trout are abundant in various rivers and streams running through wine farms around the Cape as they are in the dams which are always well stocked. There is so much choice with all the different places available to visit all year round. Whether you are looking for a place to fish off the rocks or a nice beach on the coast, a campsite to set up camp and spend some time enjoying the sport next to a dam or looking for rivers in which to fly fish for trout, there is an abundance of good fishing spots in Cape Town and the Western Cape region of South Africa.
