Into clubs, festivals and gatherings about all things fly fishing? If you’re near Stutterheim, Eastern Cape then the Amatola Fly Fishing Club will sort you out with info and access to many a water.
A mid-size club steeped in history, the Amatola Fly Fishing Club (AFFC) is the result of the 2013 marriage of the Stutterheim Trout Angling Club and the Frontier Acclimatisation Society (South Africa’s oldest fishing club, established circa 1894). With such deep roots it’s no wonder the AFFC has some of the Eastern Cape’s best waters. They host a fundraising jol at Gubu Dam in September every year.
Waters
The 109ha Gubu Dam, the Maden and Mnyameni still waters, and the lovely, Lilliputian Wolf River near Hogsback.
How much?
An initial R200, followed by R990 for locals and R750 for country members per year. Combos apply for couples and pensioners.
