Fishing Holidays in Egypt
In Egypt in the 1960's a dam was built on the Nile at Aswan. The
resulting lake flooded over 360 miles of Egypt's Nile valley creating
one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. This lake has turned
into a magical wilderness of stunning desert scenery, bordered by
crystal clear water dotted with rocky islands and over 100 species of
birds, numerous crocodiles, monitor lizards, golden jackals, and desert
fox. More importantly for the keen fisherman, Lake Nasser is the
greatest venue in the world for wild Nile perch; while your lure is in
the water you literally don't know if the next fish is going to be a 50
pounder or one over 200 pounds. Nile Perch are spectacular fighters;
their aggression as they hit flies or lures is just mind blowing. One
minute you are working your fly/lure and the next the take can be enough
to whip you off your feet. Like many sport fish, Nile Perch are also
great jumpers, launching themselves clear of the water, gills flared
open, shaking their big head and the enormous mouth, all in a desperate
attempt to shake the hook.
Although Lake Nasser is famous for the Nile Perch, there are other
species that if fished with balanced tackle, can and do provide great
sport. These include Tiger fish, Vundu catfish and on light fly tackle,
the bread and butter fish of the lake, Tilapia.
Our fishing tours to Lake Nasser can concentrate purely on the fishing,
or you can add a Nile cruise, sightseeing, or a Red Sea stay. While on
the lake itself, we have a mother boat with basic beds and cooking
facilities, and smaller boats which allow more flexibility to explore
and search out that big one.
