FISHING
Maguga Dam is fast becoming a buzz word in the Bass Fishing fraternity.
Several fish species are found in the Dam which make it ideal for artificial lure angling.
The range of species includes Barbel; Eeel; Carp; Yellow Tail; Largmouth Black Bass; Bream; Mozambican Tilapia; Blue Kurper; Vlei Kurper Dwarf Tiger and Mosquito Fish.

The main fishing attraction is the dam's 'Monster Bass'. The current Swaziland record stands at 5.4kg, caught in mid September 2007.
