The Vaal River around Potchefstroom and Parys is well known for diverse freshwater fishing, especially fly fishing. Anglers can typically catch:

-Smallmouth Yellowfish — the main fly-fishing target and most prized species in this stretch

-Largemouth Yellowfish — less common but present in deeper, slower sections

-Carp (Common Carp) — abundant and popular for specimen anglers

-Mudfish (Sharptooth Catfish / Barbel) — large, strong fighters found throughout the river

-Tilapia (Kurper) — often in warmer, calmer waters

-Moggel (Labeo species) — occasionally caught by bait anglers

This section of the Vaal is especially famous for smallmouth yellowfish fly fishing, thanks to its clear, shallow runs and rocky structure — one of the reasons major SA fly-fishing competitions have been held here.
