Enter "South Africa fishing" to find angling and big game fishing in South Africa:

Angling is one of South Africa's most popular sports. Many game and nature reserves have dams or rivers - or even a stretch of coastline - where fishing is enjoyed. The 2,600 kilometer coastline comprises five major marine habitats: rocky shores, sandy beaches, kelp forest, estuaries and the open sea. In the open sea, there are approximately 2,150 fish species.

There are about 250 species of freshwater fish in South Africa. Trout fishing in South Africa is probably the least expensive in the world with major trout fishing areas to be found in Mpumalanga, the Northern Province, the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains in KwaZulu-Natal and the southern mountain ranges of the Western Cape. The Eastern Cape also has exceptionel fly fishing conditions in mountain streams and along its beautiful coastline.

The waters south-west of the Cape of Good Hope offer some of the finest Big Game Fishing in the world. The merging of the cool Atlantic and the warm Indian oceans off the Western Cape creates a high concentration of the game fish, including Yellowfin and Longfin Tuna as well as Yellowtail, Dorado and Atlantic Big Eye Tuna. You can also fish for Broadbill Swordfish, "the gladiator of the deep", most easily caught at night, and the occasional Marlin.
