Verlorenkloof Youth Development Project

The relationship between Gauteng North Fly Fishing, Jacaranda Fly Fishing Club and Verlorenkloof Estate began over a decade ago. The initial programme was active from 2011 to 2016. More recently in 2021 the programme was revived and ran successfully until late 2023. On an annual basis there were five clinics scheduled that aimed to educate and upskill the local youth from the surrounding communities in the sport of fly fishing and the importance of conservation of the environment. Students from a local community are taught how to fly cast, tie knots, tie their own flies and most importantly how to approach the water correctly to catch fish.

 

The project was unfortunately shelved as it became apparent that certain limitations in the sustainability of the programme were being encountered.  We hope to re-approach and revive the project once again in the not-too-distant future. 

 

We remain passionate about supporting and developing the communities around the waters we fish.
