Ntsinini offers some of the most rewarding river fly fishing in Mpumalanga during the winter months. You get long stretches of mountain water running through calm riverine forest valleys, with a mix of weir pools, steady runs, and gentle eddies. These hold healthy rainbow trout and the occasional brown, while certain sections produce bushveld smallscale yellowfish for anglers who want a tougher fight. Barbless flies and catch and release are encouraged to protect younger trout and all yellowfish.

​

The beats along the riverbanks are maintained for simple access, letting you move between productive spots with ease.
