Sundowner Adventures invites you to join it for a memorable fishing experience in on the lovely and rich waters of Johannesburg in Gauteng, South Africa. You and Skipper Wayne Sinclair will head out to the Vaal River, one of the largest rivers in South Africa, and enjoy chasing some prized species as well as the beautiful scenery that embraces the whole area. Invite your loved ones, pick a day that suits you, and have many great moments on the water as you fish with Sundowner Adventures!

Up to 2 anglers can join your fishing adventure. Your group and Skipper Wayne will be fly fishing for prized Yellowfish, Catfish, as well as Carp. Anglers who enjoy a challenge will have a great time trying to catch Yellowfish, a species famous for its elusiveness and the tough fight it puts up when being targeted. Due to the local regulations, all the fish you catch will have to be released back into the water.

You can feel free to bring along your kids and family for the day at the resort (additional entrance fees). However, keep in mind children have to be at least 10 years old to join in on the fishing, as you’ll be wading the Vaal River waters.

Your skipper will provide you with various sorts of snacks, mineral water, as well as soft drinks. What you should bring for your trip is fishing gear, flies, and your fishing licences.

Visit Sundowner Adventures and have a great time fishing in Johannesburg!

    The captain will provide tuition and practical guidance to fly fish for one of South Africa's prime rivers for small and largemouth Yellowfish, Carp, Catfish, and Mudfish. The fishing typically includes wading in rapids, riffles, and shallow pools while using upstream nymphing (Czech or French) techniques. The size of fish often ranges from 1-5 kg. While wading, it's recommended to use boots with felt soles to grip the rocks. The prime season runs from September to April (African summer).
