Stonecutters Lodge lies between Dullstroom and Lydenburg, in the heart
of South Africa’s fly and trout fishing territory and is bordered
by the Dorps River for three kilometers.
Stone-packed riffles and still deep pools can be enjoyed by enthusiastic
fly-fishermen whilst their family and friends picnic beside this accessible,
pristine and free-flowing river.
The ongoing management and maintenance of the river and its banks ensures
the best possible fishing experience. There is natural breeding in the
river and the breeding is supplemented by stocking on a regular basis.
There are two dams, measuring a quarter of a hectare and one hectare
respectively. A jetty serves each dam and both dams are well stocked.
Catch and release is permitted on the waters.
Fly-fishing tuition may be arranged and is worthwhile for both newcomers
to the sport or for those wishing to hone their skills particularly with
regard to river fishing, which requires different techniques to dam fishing.
Clinics may be run by professionals for groups or parties wishing to do
a team-build or expert guides may be hired on a one on one basis for the
experienced angler. Beginners can make use of a local guide who can teach
the basics.
A visit to the Bird of Prey Centre just beyond Dullstroom gives a fascinating
insight into bird rehabilitation and raptor behaviour as well as displays
of falconry. Horse riding and quad-bike riding are available nearby.
Lydenburg, 15 minutes from Stonecutters Lodge, offers golf, tennis and
bowls and practical shopping for those requiring provisions. Visit the
small Lydenburg museum displaying the Lydenburg Heads, an early example
of African sculpture and a display of Voortrekker memorabilia.
