Championship Waters of the Mzimkulu
Premier Fly Fishing
World-Class Trout Waters
Glentowy offers a private stretch of the pristine Mzimkulu River—famed for its trout fishing and the annual Drak Challenge Canoe Race. Crystal-clear waters, technical challenges, and exclusive access make this a sanctuary for serious anglers.
The River
Situated on a 64-hectare estate spanning both sides of the Mzimkulu River with over 1 km of private river frontage, protected by hills on either side. The river features diverse pools, runs, and riffles suitable for various casting techniques. Crystal-clear waters provide optimal conditions for sight fishing and technical presentations.
The Species
Both Rainbow and Brown trout thrive in our waters. Fish are selective and reward precise casting and elegant presentations. Average size and condition reflect the river's excellent water quality and low-pressure environment.
