The village of Rhodes is situated below the most Southern tip of Lesotho in the Southern Drakensberg - North Eastern Cape with the closest towns being Barkly East on the West side and Maclear on the East side.

FRED STEYNBERG has been fly fishing for 20 years, most of this time spent on the clear mountain rivers of Rhodes. He has established himself as one of the most experienced fly fishing guides in South Africa.
Specializing in river fishing, Fred has developed an astounding knowledge of the trout and their habitat in this area which boasts over 300 km of Africa's most pristine Wild Trout waters. The ever-increasingly popular yet elusive Yellowfish share these untainted waters with the trout.
Fred knows each pool, riffle and run like the back of his hand. Fred also developed a passion for fishing to any salt water quarry that would take a fly, pursuing the allure of salt water fly fishing vehemently.
