The sport and fly fishing re-opened at Oxbow Country Estate in February and is operated by Sundowner Fly-fishing Adventures. The operation is now referred to as SUNOX Fishing. We offers a bespoke sport and fly-fishing experience. You only have to drive an hour to feel like you are fishing in Dullstroom or KZN midlands. With six fishing dams you will have plenty of fishing access at your finger tips. In winter we offer fly-fishing for trout (Rainbow, Brown, Gold & Red) and in summer loads of fun fishing with spin, specimen and fly for bass and carp.

We offer the option at the beginning of either winter or summer season to join the SunOx fishing club by purchasing a fishing package. You do not have to be a member of the fishing club to visit as a day fisher. Our online system provides an easy solution for booking day fishing, fishing lessons and various special events.

There will be lots of great events to join in including Winter fly-fishing competition, Night fishing and fishing master classes hosted by local and international experts.

If you would like to learn the basics or progress to intermediate skills then we will be offering a sport fishing academy.

We love providing qualify sport fishing and connecting people with an awesome culture.

Sundowner Fly-fishing Adventures is privileged to operate SUNOX Fishing in collaboration with Oxbow Country Estate. SUNOX is regarded as one of the top sport & fly-fishing venues in Gauteng. There are seven fishing dams to suit the discerning sport and fly fishermen. Non fishing guests can relax and enjoy themselves on the most beautiful properties in Gauteng. You literally have a "Dullstroom-on-your-doorstep" experience in close proximity to Pretoria, Joburg, East Rand and Middelburg.

There are two fishing seasons.

  • Summer we offer bass, kurper and carp using art lure, specimen and fly fishing.
  • Winter we offer trout (rainbow & brown) with fly fishing only.
