G911 Fishing Competition 2025

The G911 Fishing Competition is a community driven event hosted by the Umvoti Agricultural Society in order to raise funds for our local community services and security NPO Golf911. The event takes place at dams on farms surrounding Greytown in the Umvoti district. Over 65ha of water to fish, beautiful scenery, awesome prizes, and a fun time for all ages. Bass, Carp, and Barbel fishing available. Market stalls, Food, Camping and Bar Facilities available. A trail run/walk for those not wanting to fish will be hosted by Arcadia (Greytown’s home for the aged) on Saturday morning). Look forward to seeing you there.
