Breede River Carp Fishing

DIE BOOMHUIS “THE TREE HOUSE”
One Of the Trophy Tours gems has to be the “ Boomhuis ”. This little known fishing haven is built on the banks of the Breede River set in the town of Montague. It was discovered by a close friend many years ago and has remained a secret location since. The accommodation sleeps four and is built between three forks of a giant Blue Gum tree. There are barbecue platforms built to overhang the river bank. This provides a very rustic, but fantastic setting during the day or night.

The Breede River itself is know for excellent freshwater fishing with Eels, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Tench and Carp making up for most of the catches. The Breede River Mouth is a South African legendary location for producing massive estuarine Cob.

For the freshwater fisherman Carp are the main quarry and this is the location where many anglers have exceeded their personal best catch by a mile! This section on the Breede River is slow moving, deep water and offers the very best in Trophy Carp. The Breede River floods annually following the Cape Winter rains and as a result you will see some of the broadest tails ever on these Carp.

Enjoy an early evening barbecue overlooking the flood lit river bank. At night on this section of the Breede River the big Carp own the river. As the sun sets prepare for the very best in Carp fishing, expect the unexpected! With Carp averaging around the 20 pound mark there will be plenty of action. Forty pound Carp make frequent visits to the landing net. The reel runs go on throughout the night, then just after sunrise, they almost magically disappear. Till the next sunset and the action starts again!

The Boomhuis is just over an hours drive from Cape Town and is situated within a major Wine producing region. There region offers Wine tours as well as Historical sight seeing.
