The best months for trout is normally April/May and September/ November. Our season closes end of May and reopens in August. Still water trout fishing you can do all year. We have a number of trout fishing venues in and around Cape Town as well as numerous Bass and carp venues. Luckily for me there is a private trout and bass dam 5 min from my house. There is also quite a few small wild trout streams within about 30min from Cape Town.
