katse dam, One of the most ambitious engineering projects ever undertaken in South Africa, Katse is the continent's second-largest double-curvature arch dam. Some 710-metres long and 185-metres high, it impounds a deep, squiggly, multi-tendrilled reservoir that extends back more than 30km along the Malibamat'so River when full and has a total surface area of 38.5 square kilometres.
Katse Dam, Lesotho Reputedly named after a wealthy local farmer, Katse was constructed in the early 1990s as the centrepiece of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP). Water from Katse is funnelled through an 82km underground tunnel into the Ash River near Clarens, South Africa, from where it flows along a succession of natural waterways into the Vaal Dam, the main reservoir in the industrialised and densely populated South African province of Gauteng.
Visitors coming on the A25 from Maseru will pass the tunnel's intake tower to their left as they cross the reservoir on Mphorosane Bridge near Ha Lejone, some 30km before reaching the dam itself. Also visible from the bridge is a cluster of circular fish farms that produces the trout for which Lesotho is famed.
Informative guided tours of the dam wall and boat trips onto the reservoir can be arranged at the helpful LHWP Visitors' Centre, which stands right above the dam and has an interior designed to mimic it.

KATSE DAM LESOTHO 2023
Travelling through Lesotho, Katse Dam is just a must. We wild camped with in meters away from the dam and to actually go inside of the dam wall was just an amazing experience in itself, although we were not allowed to do any sort of recording inside the dam wall, the time spend there was well worth it.

Katse dam Lesotho - Amazing fishing in the home pool at the Makhangoa Community Camp
Fishing at Katse Dam Lesotho - Amazing dry fly fishing captured by guest Owen Bruce in the home pool at the Makhangoa Community Camp.
As anglers, we always try to go and find the most remote, furthest place we can find, in hope that the fishing would be untouched and unreal, when in fact, the best spots are often right in front of us already.
Each day when the warm rays of sunshine beam over the lowest mountain slopes in the morning, the water temperature starts to rise and the fish start to get more active, hunting for insects on the surface. Anglers are often greeted to big shoals of cruising smallmouth yellowfish, and big single swimming rainbow trout, in the gin clear waters of the Bokong - all of this before breakfast. At times, shoals so big, that more than one fish will compete or your dry fly.
The bokong river, and in particular the home pool, has arguably some of the finest dry fly fishing anglers can experience in all of Africa.
