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).

Top-class fly-fishing venue. - Gavin
Good day, We had a good day out. Caught one fish. The fishing is however difficult with the trees around the dams. Especially the smaller trees around the dams closer to the entrance. When those trees get bigger it will be impossible to fish these dams. In the parking area there are short dropper poles in the field. I ended up driving over one of these poles and caused severe damage to my bakkie. Took an hour to get the bakkie unstuck. The facilities are cleam and the area is beautiful. A good cappuccino at the coffee shop will be great instead of the instant coffee. - Martin
Hi, Great venue, a little water weed in th water which makes fishing challenging at times. else spotted a lot of fish and beautiful grounds. - Justin
Was very surprised with the state of the dams. Nice clean, clear waters and the fish we caught was healthy. Was definitely worth driving out for a day of awesome Trout Fishing as in there are no such places around in West of Johannesburg. - Suette
I took my family for fishing for the day, even though none of us knows anything about fishing. And what a day of fun we had! Bruce gave us all the advise we needed and helped us to prepare the fish for the pot. That night we feasted on a supper with fresh trout, caught by our grandsons. It is a really beautiful venue where you can be close to nature, right here in Gauteng. - Johan
