Fishing near Knysna, Western Cape

Knysna sits on the Garden Route of the Western Cape, built around a large estuarine lagoon connected to the Indian Ocean through the dramatic Knysna Heads. The lagoon is the centrepiece of local fishing, drawing anglers after estuary species year-round, while the waters near the Heads open up access to more pelagic game fish. Nearby lagoons at Sedgefield and Goukamma are also favoured spots, and the area supports rock and surf, river, bass, and saltwater fly fishing.
