The Kwelera River is an estuarine stream system located in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, flowing into the Indian Ocean. This coastal river system provides a dynamic saltwater and brackish environment where freshwater meets the sea, creating a rich habitat for a variety of marine and estuarine fish species. The fishing here is heavily influenced by tidal movements, with the river mouth and surrounding rocky structures serving as key areas for anglers targeting predatory fish.
