I would like to fill this gap with an introduction from a local angler [or someone who is a frequent visiting fisherman] for every one of the geographical pages on Fatfisherman.com. The many thousands of anglers now regularly using these pages prefer to read something written by someone who can see the area from an insider's point of view. They know the best spots, not just the ones that first time or overseas visitors usually visit or that are well known outside of the area. Each introduction carries the e-mail address of the contributor so that anglers can get in touch with them if, for example, they are planning a trip [unless the contributor is unable to do this] so it could bring you extra business if you own a local fishery or tackleshop, charter boat or magazine etc. Please get in touch if you feel you can contribute an introduction to this page - you don't have to be an expert; I'm not! Its sister site, Fatbirder.com is regularly used by hundreds of thousands of birdwatchers when planning overseas trips or birding closer to home. That site gets four million hits a month and has a high Google rating because it is an information resource that is both comprehensive and trusted. Help me make Fatfisherman.com the first point of reference for anyone who wants to go fishing anywhere in the world! Field Guide to the Birds of East AfricaKenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi Terry Stevenson and John Fanshawe Series: HELM FIELD GUIDES 604 pages, 287 col plates, distrib maps. Christopher HelmISBN: 0713673478 Buy this book from Amazon.co.uk  2001 [July] - Giles Mulhollandhttp://www.geocities.com/giles_mulholland/trip04.htmlI was quite amazed by this country which has suffered so much during the early 90s with nearly 20% of their population having been slaughtered in the country`s genocide. I have rarely found such a friendly and pleasant people, and their were no outward signs of tensions. The only problems I experienced were entirely my own fault - i.e. I do not speak French, and virtually no-one there speaks English. This is a seriously good birding destination, and would become more so if more people would visit. The programs run by organizations such as the Wildlife Society to train guides are going to fail if there are no people to guide. On this topic I expressed my concern over a variety of internet list-servers, and received a wide range of support from many - with only a few dissenting opinions... 2003 [June] - Nigel Moorhouse & Dave Sargeanthttp://www.worldtwitch.com/rwanda_uganda_des.htmThe first week was an exploratory visit, with Nigel Moorhouse (owner of Sarus Bird Tours), to Rwanda; a country largely ignored by world birders over the last ten years, due in the most part to the legacy of the genocide and consequent collapse of the county in the late 1980s... 2007 [June] - Keith Valentinehttp://www.rockjumper.co.za/default.asp?id=1250Our action packed one week tour to this fabulous landlocked country produced numerous highlights from the magnificent Mountain Gorillas in the splendid Volcanoes National Park to chasing down the various Albertine Rift Endemics in the seemingly endless montane forests of Nyungwe... 2008 [July] - Simon Woolleyhttp://geography.wincoll.ac.uk/jjcskw/trip%20reports/uganda/ugandatitle.htmOur second Rockjumper tour, this time to the forests, savannahs and wetlands of Uganda, with a side trip over the border to the Volcans NP in Rwanda, for the big hairy chaps above! |
