Tiger Fishing is one of a kind in Africa and certainly rivals angling
for other fresh water fish around the world. While probably much
less known to most, for those that do it inevitably draws many
back time and again. The excitement of catching Tiger on fly on the Mighty
Zambezi is like no other.
Tigers have a reputation of leaving gashes in the
sides of lures such as rapalas. It can, given enough encouragement
destroy a fly entirely.
With orange tipped tail and fins, a streamlined silver
outline and a set of teeth that would ward off the hardiest of fisherman
from putting there hands near its mouth, this stunning freshwater
fish is powerful and regarded as a great fighter. Sport fishermen
from around the world come to cast for these handsome fearless
fighters.
Safaris In Africa have some great places to fish for Tigers and
we have specialist knowledge about what time of year is best where.
For the avid freshwater fisherman you surely need to add this
to your list of best catches. It's not unheard of for lure anglers
to land up to 20lb Tigers and flyfishers up to 15lb.
The lodges that Safaris In Africa support operate a practice of
catch and release thereby helping to ensure the survival of the
stocks of this magnificent fish.
