They say the Breede River is where fish go to test your patience… and your storytelling skills. Cast a line from the jetty, boat or river bank — and you’ll soon be bragging about the one that got away (because honestly, it’s always bigger when retold around the braai).Expect grunters, kob, leervis, and the occasional “mystery tug” that’ll have you swearing you hooked a submarine. Don’t worry if you’re not a pro — half the joy is sitting with a rod in one hand and a cold drink in the other, waiting for your reel to scream or your buddy to nod off first.Even when the fish are laughing at you from below, the river serves up golden sunsets, fish eagles overhead, and that smug sense of “I could’ve been at work today, but I’m not.”So pack your tackle, pack your tall tales, and get ready: here, every cast is either dinner… or a great story.
