FLYFISHING SAFARIS TO CONSIDER FOR VISITORS TO SOUTHERN AFRICA Brought to you by The Southern African Trout and Flyfishing Directory SOUTHERN AFRICA AS A FLYFISHING DESTINATION Southern Africa is exciting! It's justly famous for magnificent game parks and birdlife that abounds. What is less appreciated is the array of flyfishing opportunities that are available. So, if you're thinking of a business trip or a holiday and want to pack that four-piece flyrod this may help put you on the right beaten track. SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR FLYFISHING SAFARI TIGER FISH IN SOUTHERN AFRICA
And while you battle an acrobatic tiger, it's very likely you may do so in the company of game on the banks and wonderful birdlife around you. This is an excellent way to see Africa in ALL its glory. TROUT
It's a pretty decent quality of angling that you can enjoy as well in the presence of green valleys and dark mountains. Of course there are managed waters with stocking programs and wild rivers as well - browns and rainbows too. Trout exist all the way from Cape Town to the Equator and there's no shortage of venues. Even if you're on business in Durban or Johannesburg, you're only a couple of hours away from splendid surrounds. Indeed, why not think of a special breakaway on your way to the Kruger National Park |
YELLOWFISH (BARBUS AND LABEOBARBUS)
There's more than one species from which to choose and a variety of venues from South Africa's Highveld, Bushveld, and Lowveld, through the midlands of Natal down to the Western Cape. Fishing for yellowfish is one of South Africa's best kept secrets. BLACK BASS
Previously some Florida bass were also distributed and this means that there are some hefty specimens out there waiting to be caught. SALTWATER FLYFISHING
- a little about a big fish to the north - THE GIGANTIC NILE PERCH
While the Perch reaches weights in excess of 300 lbs, flyfishers have ample quantities of fish in the 10 - 50 lb range to whet their appetites. It's big water you're on and the visitors compass needs to point northwards to the great lakes of central and east Africa and to Egypt's Lake Nasser.
