Fishing near Queenstown, Eastern Cape
Queenstown sits at around 1 200 m in the Eastern Cape's Chris Hani district, on the edge of the Stormberg Mountains. The surrounding rivers — including the Komani, Klaas Smits, Swart-Kei and Wit-Kei — hold a mix of warm- and coolwater species, while Xonxa Dam is the main stillwater in the area. The Queenstown Fly Fishing Club (QFFC) manages access to several high-altitude trout dams, with the larger waters extending into the Dordrecht and Molteno areas of the Stormberg.
