By Leliekloof Lodge glo ons dat die natuur rondom ons verantwoordelik geniet moet word, en dit besonders is wanneer ons met ander kan deel. Daarom is ons baie bly om 'n wonderlike inisiatief van een van ons vriende en groot visserman, Rowen Smith met Vissers van Hoop, te kan ondersteun.
Die idee is eenvoudig, maar die potensiële impak is groot: karp word in damme gevang, verwerk tot viskoekies en daarna aan mense wat voedsel benodig, beskikbaar gestel. Wat begin het vanuit 'n persoonlike behoefte om iets terug te gee, het ontwikkel tot 'n praktiese gemeenskapsprojek waar visvang gebruik word om kos op iemand se tafel te help sit.
Leliekloof Lodge is gelukkig om een van die damme te offer waar die span vir die projek kan visvang. Hulle het reeds besondere suksesvolle vangste hier gehad wat beteken dat vis vir die projek aangewend kan word.
Ons rol in die projek is klein: ons stel ons dam beskikbaar en ondersteun graag die vissers wat hierdie werk doen.
Die werklike erkenning behoort aan die mense agter Vissers van Hoop wat hul tyd, energie en hulpbronne gee om die vis te vang, voor te berei en te versprei.
'n Oproep aan ander dam-eienaars
Om hierdie inisiatief verder uit te brei, is die span op soek na meer damme waar hulle verantwoordelik karp kan vang vir die projek.
Indien jy 'n dam besit of bestuur waarin daar karp is en jy graag meer oor die projek wil weet, nooi ons jou uit om die volledige projekinligting te lees en direk met Rowen kontak te maak.

Ons is trots om 'n klein rol te kan speel in die ondersteuning van 'n inisiatief wat iets so eenvoudig soos 'n naweek se visvang in 'n geleentheid omskep om iets aan ander terug te gee.
Soms begin omgee eenvoudig deur dit wat ons het, met ander te deel.
From Fishing to Giving Back: Supporting Vissers van Hoop
At Leliekloof Lodge, we have always believed that the natural resources around us can be enjoyed responsibly, and there is something special about being able to share what we have with others.
We are therefor very pleased to support a wonderful initiative started by one of our friends and regular fisherman, Rowen Smith, Vissers van Hoop.
The idea is simple, but the impact is meaningful: carp are caught from dams, processed into fishcakes, and then distributed to people who are in need of food. What began from a personal desire to give back has grown into a practical community initiative, with large catches helping to turn an enjoyable weekend of fishing into something that can put food on someone's table.
Leliekloof Lodge is fortunate to offer one of the dams where the team is able to fish carp. They have already had some remarkable catches here allowing many fish to be redirected towards the project.
Our role in the project is small: we provide access to our dam and are happy to support the fishermen who are doing the work. The real credit belongs to the people behind Vissers van Hoop, who give their time, energy and resources to catching, preparing and distributing the fish.
A call to other dam owners
For this initiative to grow, the team is looking for additional dams where they can responsibly catch carp for the project.
If you own or manage a dam with carp and would like to learn more about the initiative, we encourage you to read the full project information and get in touch with Rowen directly.

We are proud to play a small part in supporting an initiative that takes something as simple as a day of fishing and turns it into an opportunity to give back.
Sometimes, giving back starts with simply sharing what we have.
