Krugersdrift Dam is a significant impoundment located in the Free State province of South Africa, situated on the Modder River system. This productive fishery supports a diverse assemblage of both native and introduced fish species, making it a worthwhile destination for anglers targeting a variety of warm-water species. The dam's waters are characterized by the typical turbid, nutrient-rich conditions common to lowland South African impoundments, and it draws both subsistence and recreational fishers throughout the year.
