Fishing near Boksburg, Gauteng

Boksburg sits on the East Rand of Gauteng, an urban-industrial landscape threaded with spruits, pans and small dams. Cinderella Dam within the city is a known local fishing spot, while the broader East Rand area holds waters like Vanryndam near Benoni, Parkrand Dam, and Cowles Dam near Springs. The Blesbokspruit wetland system to the south-east and the Natalspruit to the west add river fishing to the mix. Common carp is the dominant target for most local anglers, with bass and tilapia also regularly caught across the region's dams and pans.
