Fishing here is mostly done drifting over key river structures like fallen timber, sandbanks, steep drop-offs, and rocky outcrops. When needed, we anchor or tie up midstream to target prime spots. All angling takes place from specially selected 18ft aluminum boats with 15–25 hp motors, each carrying two anglers, a professional guide, and a coxswain, fully equipped with safety gear and ample storage.

These rivers have seen minimal fishing pressure, creating a thriving ecosystem rich in baitfish like Red-finned Barbs. This has produced Tigerfish of extraordinary size trophies often exceeding 15 lbs that will change how you think about Tiger fishing.

Since their discovery in 2008, these waters have shaken up African sportfishing. Where a 20-pound tigerfish was once unheard of, anglers have landed eight in just eight days on one stretch of the Mnyera!

The prime season runs from August to mid-November, when rising water temperatures and crystal-clear conditions ignite aggressive feeding. Large black whistlers, clousers, and Puglisi-style baitfish patterns cast along the banks and into structure consistently entice these fierce predators.

Thanks to a strict rotation system and limited fishing pressure just seven beats spread over the best 16 weeks and a maximum of eight rods weekly. These rivers remain pristine and productive. Tigers range from small fighters to monsters over 20 pounds, with most catches between five and ten pounds and larger fish a regular thrill.

Fishery Regulations

All fishing is conducted on a strict catch-and-release basis, using only single, debarbed hooks. To protect the fishery and ensure its continued health, each beat is fished only once per week, and spawning areas are completely off-limits. Re-drifting of the same beat during a session is also not permitted. These guidelines are designed to maintain a well-rested and productive fishery. We appreciate your cooperation in following these rules and trust you’ll value the pristine conditions preserved by those who came before you.
