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.
