GUIDES Linecasters Fred Steynberg
Where, What & When
Fred Steynberg has been a professional fly fishing guide for more than 20 years and is considered one of the most experienced guides in SA. Most of his time has been spent on the clear mountain rivers of Rhodes which boasts over 300 km’s of Africa’s most pristine wild trout waters. The popular smallmouth yellowfish share these untainted waters with the trout. Specializing in river fly fishing, Fred has developed an astounding knowledge of the trout and yellowfish and their habitat in this area.
