Dear Fishing Friends and Visitors,
We would like to share some exciting and encouraging information about the fishing experience at Klipkopje Dam, especially for those who enjoy the challenge of carp fishing.
Over the past three years, careful tracking has shown just how healthy and thriving the carp population is. A total of 124 carp have been caught, with only one fish being caught twice during this period. This clearly shows that the dam holds a large and diverse carp population. Even more interesting is that all of these catches were made while fishing only in spots 1 to 8, which means there is still plenty of unexplored potential in other areas of the dam.
Although the carp population is strong, they remain a rewarding challenge to catch — something that makes fishing here even more exciting and satisfying.
For those looking to improve their chances, here are a few helpful tips:
Fishing with a float set at about 2 meters deep in open water can be very effective. Allow the float to drift naturally with the wind — following the wind direction often leads to great results and can surprise you with how many carp you hook.
Fishing at around 2 meters below the surface tends to produce a good number of smaller carp, with the added possibility of landing some impressive larger specimens.
Bait choice also plays an important role. Many anglers have had success using red fake maize combined with a sweet, fruity flavour, as well as tigernuts.
Klipkopje Dam has also proven its ability to produce truly remarkable fish. Two years ago, a carp weighing 22.3kg was caught, and earlier this year in January, that same fish was recaptured at an incredible 24kg — a true testament to the dam’s quality and growth potential.
We encourage all anglers to share their catches, experiences, and tips so that we can continue building a strong and supportive fishing community. Every story adds to the enjoyment and knowledge of fishing at our beautiful dam.
We look forward to seeing you at Klipkopje Dam and wish you many tight lines and memorable catches!

Hi all Laba members.
Here’s a quick update on some of the weekend activities at Klipkopje Dam and Primkop Dam.
