Fishing near Sasolburg, Free State
Sasolburg sits in the northern Free State, right on the Vaal River, which forms the provincial boundary with Gauteng. The Vaal Barrage — a large impoundment just kilometres away — is the centrepiece of local freshwater fishing, and the broader Vaal system draws anglers after yellowfish, carp and bass. Several tributaries, including the Rietspruit and Taaibosspruit, add further options within easy reach of town.
