Fishing near De Aar, Northern Cape


De Aar sits in the arid Karoo of the Northern Cape, a semi-desert region where water is scarce but fishing exists in the farm dams, kloofs and seasonal rivers scattered across the surrounding veld. Local spots such as Tierkloof, Elandskloof, Doringbultpan, Reynekespandam, Grootfontein and Brakpoort draw anglers from the area, with the Seekoei River and Smartt Syndicate dam among the more substantial waters within reach.
