Kaap River

Flowing through Mpumalanga, South Africa, Kaap River is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Kaap River hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Kaap River can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.
