MEET YOUR ORANGE RIVER FISHING GUIDE
Hi, I’m Jacques Schoeman. I’ve spent years exploring the Orange River in search of Largemouth and Smallmouth Yellowfish.
What started as a passion became an obsession with understanding these fish, their behaviour, and the unique waters they inhabit.
Today I share that knowledge with anglers from across South Africa and abroad, helping them experience one of the country’s most exciting freshwater fisheries.

Experience The Orange River Through The Eyes Of A Guide
Every stretch of the Orange River tells a different story.
Water levels change. Fish move. Productive structure shifts. Conditions that produce exceptional fishing one day may require a completely different approach the next.
A guided trip is about more than simply finding fish. It’s about understanding the river, adapting to changing conditions, and making the most of every opportunity the day presents.
Whether you’re chasing a trophy Largemouth Yellowfish, targeting Smallmouth Yellowfish on fly or lure, or experiencing the river for the first time, you’ll benefit from local knowledge developed through countless days spent on these waters.
FAQ
Why do anglers choose guided fishing?
Guided fishing helps you make the most of your time on the water. Instead of spending valuable hours trying to locate fish and interpret conditions, you benefit from local knowledge, proven techniques, and a plan tailored to the conditions on the day.
Will a guide find fish faster than I can on my own?
Every day on the river is different, and no guide can guarantee fish. What a guide can do is help you focus your time on productive water, adapt to changing conditions, and avoid much of the trial and error that comes with fishing unfamiliar water.
I don't understand the river. Will a guide help me?
Absolutely. One of the biggest benefits of guided fishing is learning how the river works. You’ll gain a better understanding of fish-holding structure, current seams, seasonal movements, water levels, and the conditions that influence Yellowfish behaviour.
I'm a beginner. Is a guided trip right for me?
Yes. Guided fishing is one of the fastest ways to build confidence and improve your skills. Whether it’s your first Yellowfish or your first time fishing the Orange River, the day is tailored to your experience level and goals.
I'm an experienced angler. How will fishing with a guide help me?
Experienced anglers often gain the most from local knowledge. Understanding productive areas, seasonal patterns, changing river conditions, and proven techniques can help shorten the learning curve and maximise opportunities during your time on the water.
