The Trout Streams of KwaZulu Natal

Each of these pdf documents is a collection of maps, stories, history and book excerpts and other useful information about each of the streams mentioned. The documents are being updated and improved regularly, and with the help of fellow fly-fishing enthusiasts who are willing to share what we have here in KZN, more streams will be added in future.

For each stream I attempt to have:

A link to the extensive pdf document
A gallery of Trout caught in that stream
A photo gallery of the stream

I hope that this resource will prove valuable to any flyfisher wanting to immerse him or herself in everything to do with the stream they are planning to fish.

Truttablog is a "Trout centric" journal, in which I seek to highlight South Africa as a fly-fishing destination. In particular I write about my home waters of the Kwa-Zulu Natal province, which seem to receive little press. Recent moves by authorities in South Africa, are threatening to close down Trout hatcheries, ban the practice of catch and release, and in other ways see the demise of a species, entirely without good reason. I hope that in some small way, my writing will amplify the pleasure and importance of fly-fishing for Trout in South Africa, and in so doing will act as a counter weight to this turning wheel.
