About Krugersdrift
Tucked into KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Krugersdrift is a reservoir that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Krugersdrift should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques
- For North African catfish
Fish near structures like submerged trees or rocky bottoms, as catfish often hide there waiting to ambush prey, and using a sliding sinker rig allows for a more natural presentation.
- For Grass carp
Pre-baiting an area with corn or other plant matter for several days can concentrate grass carp and increase your chances of a catch.
- For Common carp
Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
