From Moshesh’s Ford, continue past Glencoe, and descend into the Vlooikraalspruit valley to cross a bridge across this stream. A sign at the bridge indicates the entrance to the road to Balloch on the right.  Continue for +-3km to the entrance and downstream boundary marked by an immense bluegum tree.  Fishing may commence from this point, alternatively continue further upstream and depending on the vehicle, to the section above a weir reached by crossing a bridge above the defunct hatchery and ponds on the left and another bridge past the cottages.  This section should not be attempted in anything other than a vehicle with high clearance.
