The Groen River, often referred to locally as Groenrivier, is a stream flowing through the arid and scenic landscapes of the Northern Cape in South Africa. It offers a unique freshwater fishing experience in a region more commonly associated with vast open spaces, with its waters providing habitat for both introduced sportfish and hardy native species. The river's character is shaped by the surrounding environment, creating a distinct angling destination where preparation and local knowledge are key to success.
