About Klip
Running through Gauteng, South Africa, Klip is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Klip hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques
- For Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
- For Smallmouth yellowfish
Fish near structures like rocks and submerged trees, varying your retrieve speed until you find what triggers strikes.
- For Common carp
Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
