Angling...

Section Jump
 







You will notice that there is no introduction to this section yet. 



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!

Uganda is an ideal fishing destination. With one third of the country covered by water, there is plenty of opportunity for sport fishing, for example on Lake Victoria and in Murchison Falls National Park. Fishing for Nile Perch on Lake Victoria in Uganda is an amazing experience: you can catch a 100kg Nile Perch anywhere on the lake or River Nile. Other fish you can catch include catfish of over 50kg, tilapia, tiger fish, Ngara (Genus Alestes), ferocious fighter and barbel...

Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa and the second largest fresh water body in the world, is shared by Uganda with Tanzania and Kenya.

2000 [March] - Bryan Garnett - Uganda Nile Perch Adventure

Report
...I had been looking at trying my hand at Nile Perch, after a guide at a lodge in Namibia showed me an article about a place called Merchison Falls in Uganda. The article told of how an angler fishing at the bottom of the Falls had hooked something so big that it spooled him of 400 meters of 40lb line!! So I thought I would give it a try...

John Wilson - Wild Frontier Uganda

Article
In my capacity as angling journalist and television presenter, it has been my good fortune to sample exotic sports fishing in many of the world's most spectacular tropical destinations. But none, and I do mean none, can compare with the inspirational majesty, the breath taking scenery and the raw, awesome beauty of Uganda's Murchison Falls. Whether you fly over the falls by light aircraft, make the approach from the slower reaches downstream by boat, if you are an angler you will feel as though you have returned to the womb. Such is the splendor provided by the longest, most prolific watercourse on our planet, the enigmatic River Nile...
