Sundowner Adventures offers day fishing for adults & children in a safe and secure environment. This is a great way to spend time in the outdoors with social distancing. Low season (1 Oct to 23 April) is summer time and we allow bass, bait, specimen carp and fly fishing. High season (24 April to 31 Sep) is winter trout season and only fly fishing is permitted. We are eco-friendly, promoting catch and release of fish (although trout may be kept and paid for by arrangement). Sport fishing a fun adventure for individuals, couples and families.
Fly-fishing is an art and clean (no grubby bait!). It is good exercise but you don’t a high fitness level.
The fishing equipment is available for hire, however you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Fishing flies or lures can be bought on site.
We often have fishing monitors on duty to provide guidance on the fishing rules/regulations and to assist with ensuring you have a wonderful experience. They will provide some basic fishing tips but if you want to learn more or have never fishing before then feel free to book one of our group or private fishing lessons.
We believe in keeping the sport environmentally friendly so all fish caught in the catch & release dams caught must be released (And we teach guests the proper techniques required for correctly releasing the fish so that they do not get injured). Most of the dams have Trout (Rainbow, Brown and Golden) and Bass. Academy dam has, Carp, Kurper, trout and bass.
The fishing is done on the six dams at Oxbow Country Estate. We are open for fishing three days a week (Wed,Sat & Sun). Bookings for exclusive or corporate events may be booked on the other days (Mon,Tues,Thu& Fri).

We have only been twice to fish for bass. And on both occassions the bass were shy in taking a variery of lures we were using. That said the season was in the process of changing. And the weather was extremely unpredicable. However the weather was pleasant on both occassions. The challenge was getting the bass to take what we were offerring, Sundowner offers you an experience rather thajust another fishing outing. The cleanslness and tranquility of the surrounding is what will bring me back again and again. And ablutions on site, within walking distance of most dams. It really caters for the whole family. Young and old! It is awesome. :} I only have these suggestions: . Please errect a big sign indicating the way to Sundowner at the split on the sand road. Us oldies seem to get lost easily. .Please add one or two bigger bass to the dams. I can highly reccomend everyone to visit Sundower and try the experience. :} - Hilton
Fantastic fishing experience at a world class facility. Crystal clear water stocked with more than enough fish. On this visit I caught 3 x rainbow, 2 x golden and 2 x brown trout and 4 x bass. - Carlu
I had a great day out at Oxbow Country Estate. The venue is well maintained and the service was excellent. I am looking forward to my next visit. - Roshan
Thank you, my wife and i had a awesome day! A few more dustbins around the dams, to keep the place neat. Water grass in all dams need to be kept in check. Awesome service from the bar and kitchen. Wayne is very profesional and offers constant advise to all. - Peter
Oxbow is a beautiful setting for a day's fishing. Wayne at Sundowner is super helpful and took time to give some friendly advice to my fishing buddy, Graham, who is a novice fly-fisherman. Restaurant at Oxbow is great for late breakfast or lunch. Would thoroughly recommend this place. Picture is of Graham having caught his personal best bass. - Nick
