Fishing on the Rivers
The Upper Zambezi and Kasai Channel has some of the best river fishing in the world. The targeted species are Tigerfish, Bream and Catfish.

Tigerfish is the meanest African  freshwater species and one of the most explosive freshwater game fish in the world. It has a reputation of being one of the hardest fighting and most difficult fish to boat.  These river fish can grow up to 10kg(22lbs) in our stretch of water. All techniques can be used to catch them. 

   

The catfish species are strong gutsy fighters that can grow up to 25kg(55lbs). 

The Bream species closely resemble the form and behaviour of Largemouth Bass and can be fished for using similar techniques and tackle. These are the African bass. The bream species average about 1.5 – 2 kg(3-5lbs) but can grow up to 4kg(8.8lbs). 

The Tigerfish, Bream and Catfish respond to fluctuations in water level throughout the year and follow systematic patterns of movement every season.
 

These patterns help predict and pinpoint the areas that fishing will be at its best at certain times of the year. The distance between a good spot currently and another 4 months later can be as much as 70 kilometers. Nguni was built with this in mind, being able to take you to source, enabling the angler more quality fishing time, which equates to more quality fish.  
 

 

It is important to know, that not all year is good for certain styles of fishing techniques, although, fish can be caught all year. Please consult the Nguni team regarding specific detail.

We actively practice catch and release and are committed to the long term sustainability of our fish resource.
