Description
Fly-fishing is the fastest-growing participatory field sport in the world. Whether you’re hoping to catch trout, tigerfish, yellowfish or queenfish, there is little to match the sheer joy of fishing with a fly rod. Whether you’re standing waist-deep in a raging river estuary fishing the saltwater, or wading slowly into the calm waters of an inland lake, the thrill of casting a perfect line is unmatched.
Africa is 0ne of the most exciting Fly Fishing destinations in the world. Dedicated Fly fishermen can be found casting their lines all over the continent – in steaming tropical rivers, in the vast Lakelands of the Rift valley, in mountain streams, on golden beaches and turbulent estuaries. Africa offers everything, from well fished and managed rivers and dams of South Africa and Zimbabwe, to the relatively unexposed and unknown destinations like the Bale Mountains in Ethiopia and the coastline of Madagascar.
