HHi Morne

On behalf of the Dullstroom Fly Fishers and anglers that took part in the event I would like to thank you very much for the use of your fishing waters. Anglers left Dullstroom with a great experience of some of the best waters Dullstroom has to offer. Many did and are indicating they will be back to spend some leisure time with their families and will be back with more mates for next year’s event.

Congratulation on having your waters selected by the majority of the anglers that fished Treeferns as the best waters, Dullstroom Fly Fishers will be presenting you with a certificate of recognition for this prestigious achievement.  Well done.

Once again thank you.

Kind regards

“We have been visiting Treeferns on and off for the past 10 years or more. We are keen flyfishers and have seen some of the best and a lot of very bad venues. Some of the most expensive resorts hardly stock more than twice a year. There are a lot of fish in the dams at Treeferns due to the monthly stocking policy.It is a pleasure to know for sure that there will always be good fishing and a warm welcome at this place.We will be back as usual.”

To: Chairman, Secretary and Committee members of FOSAF.

I write this thank you letter as a very proud and happy fly angler.  Some time back I was the lucky member to be the runner up in your monthly draw. The prize being a mid-week break at Treeferns Trout Lodge.

Chris Labuschagne, the owner, went out of his way to make our week memorable and more.  He was so accommodating that he even allowed us to postpone the trip.  Regretfully my wife changed jobs and was unable to accompany us which left dad with his two boys, Jason (9) and Matthew (4).

This was a  true  experience  of the reality of  farm life, and boy, did  we love it.  The boys’ highlight to the end of each day was comparing scratches in the bath. They found farm friends and ended up playing from morning to night with a bit of fishing in between.

That is where the proud father comes in. Jason was able to cast a wet line with a green caddis and retrieve it slowly like a little worm moving on the bottom. In a matter of one hour, he managed to catch two beautiful fish, both which we were able to release.  Just to put the fishing in perspective, it took me a day and a half to land my first fish.

The accommodation is comfortable, chalets consist of all  the basic requirements of an avid fisherman or a quiet family retreat. The one we stayed in had a kitchen, dining room and lounge, 2 bathrooms, three bedrooms, one with a double bed.

There are 12 dams, so most fisherman would be well accommodated for. All dams are within a fair walking distance but refreshments for the walk would be advisable. Alternatively you could take the easy route and drive. They are all well maintained and the farm does accommodate some cattle.

My love for fishing without compromising my family time proved this Lodge to be the ideal place to be at peace with both. Being totally child friendly, I definitely intend to return with my whole family and enjoy a quite week in this beautiful surroundings with its history waiting to be told.

Again thank you very very much.

Another happy member.

“ My first time at Treeferns, all I can say it was great, Oom Chris and his team do a wonderful job in making you feel welcome. The fishing was great 4 days and 25 mint condition trout later. I’ll be back for sure.”

CON AMORE KERSMARK 2008

Die heerlike fonteinwater was ‘n groot lafenis tydens ons Kersmark op 30 en 31 Oktober en

1 November. Dit was drie besondere warm dae. U wonderlike skenking het vir ons ‘n groot

besparing mee gebring. Ons het sowat 80 werkers op ‘n skof binne die mark en in die Kosmark

is daar 8  gemeentes wat vir ons ‘n groot diens lewer. Almal het gebaat by Treeferns se

heerlike water.

Ons waardeer die moeite en koste wat u gehad het om die water te bottel, te vervoer en so

meer. Ons is bly ons kon on

s weldoener ontmoet.

Weereens ‘n groot dankie vir u ondersteuning en mooi gesindheid teenoor ons skool. Sonder

die gemeenskap se ondersteuning sal ons moeilik die skool kan bedryf.

Vriendelike Groete

Weereens baie dankie vir al jou gasvryheid.  Ek en Dena en die kinders het ons twee dae daar by julle op Treeferns Lodge terdee geniet.  Die uitleg van die huisies is ideaal en verseker elkeen se privaatheid en die geriewe is van hoogstaande gehalte.  Verder was die hengel uitdagend maar suksesvol.  Baie dankie vir die moeite wat julle almal doen om dit vir ons ‘n aangename ervaring te maak-van George en Amanda tot die skoonmakers en ou Sprinkaan!

Groete uit Centurion

Dear Chris

A really good performance all round.

The weekend was excellent, the guys all had a great time, you really have a lovely farm.

It seems that the popular vote is to go back to Treeferns next year, if you will allow us, and we may well make use of the catering option for at least one of the meals. I will let you have dates in due course.

Kind regards

Baie dankie vir die foto’s en vir ‘n wonderlike week wat ons by Treeferns kon spandeer. Ek praat namens ons almal as ek sê dit was seker die beste en lekkerste week gewees wat ons in ‘n lang tyd geniet het en nogmaals dankie vir die gasvryheid en die gesellige ondervinding. Almal op die plaas was beleefd, gasvry en hulpvaardig. Dit was nou wragtig soos die engelsman sal sê ‘n “awesome” tyd gewees.

Ek weet oom wil graag terugvoer hê wat op die web geplaas kan word en ek besef ook die mees algemene kommunikasie taal van die web is in Engels. Dus skryf ek die volgende in Engels juis oor die rede en oom is vry om dit te publiseer op Treeferns se “web site”. Ek sluit ook ‘n foto of twee in as inspirasie en getuie ter stawing van wat ek hier skryf.

Goeie  dag Oom Chris

Groete en nogmaal dankie vir ‘n wonderlike plek.
