With streams closed until September 1, attention shifts to Lakenvlei Dam near Ceres, now at 92%. As the rains continue, it's expected to overflow within a few months.  Some good catches have already been recorded with most fish in the 25 to 40cm range, mainly rainbows but also a few browns. Any bass caught must be killed. All booking must be done through Vikki at the CPS office and the club hut is now booked every weekend through to September.

The CPS AGM will be at the club offices starting 19h00 on 06/08/2025 – refer https://www.fosaf.org.za/calendar.php. This is one of the events members must attend if they wish to qualify for the Jan du Toits River lottery for 2025/26.
