Experience Fly Fishing by Helicopter with Moya Aviation
Moya Aviation is a premier Helicopter and Fixed Wing Charter and Flight Training School. “The Sky’s The Limit!” Take advantage of the excellent freshwater and saltwater fly fishing conditions in beautiful South Africa, a fly fisherman’s dream.
Why Fly Fishing?
Fly-fishing is the sport of choice for those who love combining the beauty of nature with the excitement of reeling in impressive fish. Initially developed to catch salmon and trout, fly-fishing now includes species like carp, bass, and pike, making it a versatile and engaging activity.
Fly-fishing involves unique techniques and equipment compared to traditional fishing. Fly fishing rods are lighter, and the line is heavier, with a nearly weightless ‘fly’ as the lure. This allows for gentle casting, barely disturbing the water and not scaring the fish.

Dullstroom, or Emnothweni, in Mpumalanga province, is one of South Africa’s top trout fishing destinations. Established in 1892, this small town offers an abundance of beautiful trout.
