Best fishing 🎣 experience

Great fishing spots, within a very nice game reserve so close to home

Very poor fishing, could see no life of fish in the water not even tilapias in the side of the reef

I often just go there to chill while hubby is fishing. We enjoy it so much that we sometimes go there 3 or more times a week

This is very nice camping side. I will definitely come here in future. Catch n release.

Great outdoors. City of Tshwane must create additional angling sites

Nice place for camping and fishing, and its very safe.

Such a nice get away from the hussle and noise of the city, enjoyed the tranquility of the dam!

Its more like n party venue than n angling spot

Best fishing area by far. Practiced a lot

Awsome place

Nice relaxing atmosphere. Worth a visit.

Very clean area and safe. Ablutions were clean and in good working order

It was nice, but if youre gonna make me pay at the entrance then buy a fishing pass, please at least guarantee that I will find a spot to fish. If you gave a fishing pass and a plot number where I can set up it would be great. There is no sense in making peoe pay for a fishing permit and all the fishing spot are taken, you should know how many people are fishing there and how much space is available.

Being close to home (Centurion) its quite the go to place for a picnic, chill out away from everyday life without having to travel a long way or just a really nice and challenging fishing trip! There are plenty of great fishing spots and overnight is when the big fish come out and when I say big I mean really big although actually catching at this dam is a challenge! Rietvlei has some monsters that dont come easy. The newly renovated chalets are rather cozy and tidy(bass fishing on the chalet side is better than carp).. more socializing than fishing when we in a chalet. Definitely worth the trip!

Love this dam. Quite and clean.

A good, quick getaway. For that reason can be busy quickly, but beautiful non the less!

Catch and Release all the fish for WHAT ???Then why are we paying to fish for?

Close to home, affordable and out of the city, we love camping here on a weekend night just to get a break from the normal routine. When combined with self drive game-viewing in the adjacent Rietvlei Nature Reserve, the experience is even better!

Well maintained fishing areas with numerous ablution facilities. Reasonable fishing, if you know what youre doing. Dam has carp, yellowfish, barbel (catfish) and bass. Nature reserve adjacent. A nice breakaway within 30 mins from PTA Central.

Horrible receptionist with an attitude of note when we arrived. Called a few days prior and asked if we could make a booking, lady said that it was no problem that we could just come as we are to fish. Got there and then no “were full”, first come first serve, which wasn’t mentioned before, if so, we would have made it our mission to go somewhere else. Please rietvlei nature reserve, don’t have your call line say we can come as we are and that there will be space. A waste of our time and petrol. What rubbish service.

Morning is the camping site open ?

Gods beautiful creation😎 the place has potential to be better utilised

Truely amazing place to spend time with your loved ones, really peacefull

Nice Cycling or hiking trail, just a bit short.

Always clean and well maintained.

Fishing is difficult nive for a day picnic etc

Decent cool you mind your own business

Lovely place in nature

It was good and peaceful place

I liked the lake setting!

Great fishing spot

Nice and sunny quite

👍🏼🎣

Best day ever at rietvlei dam. My husband and I caught 24 beautiful carps of between 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 kg. Did not sit still once.

Personally think it is the best fishing spot near Johannesburg. Accommodation, roads, shops, running water, toilets, barbecue and other facilities are perfect. Please note: manual boating is not allowed, remote control boats can be used; fish caught must be released and cannot be taken away.

People at gate are very shocked
