The Sweetness Of Visiting A Zambesi Lodge
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
The Zambesi river which runs some two thousand five hundred kilometres, originates in Zambia and runs along the edges of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe and also into Mozambique where it opens up into the Indian Ocean. Zambezi River suggests the "Great River" in the local Zambian vernacular. Along the length of this great river you will come across a Zambesi Lodge, particularly in Zambia.
A few of these lodges, although sufficiently set up, are just what it intends to be: a fisherman's paradise, while Zambesi Lodge is more luxuriously equipped and designed. Sportfishing in the Zambesi offers many varieties, but the evident favourite is the 'stripped dog' or Tiger Fish - the one with the teeth! Angling for bream on light tackle and the giant of a fish, the Vudu, (cat fish) is also popular. The lodges are designed and intended to house and cater for fisherman, although other guests would also find them comfortable. The staff members are knowledgeable on the nearby conditions and fishing and motor boats are accessible. For those who have forgotten to pack some fishing gear, you are certain to be helped out by the lodges. Zambesi Lodge has relaxed watering holes and other dialogue places to tell or hear about the big ones that got caught, obviously.
Fishing for Tiger is great fun, but could also be tricky particularly when it's the first time you are fishing for them and you are possibly unacquainted with their fighting spirit and tricks to prevent being landed in your landing net. The record is reportedly in the region of fifteen Kg, but catches of between 5 and ten kg in Zambia, and along the Zambesi normal. Large specimens have been drawn in open waters of Kariba. Equipment needed for tiger fishing is not the normal mediocre freshwater tackle. Firstly its 20 conical and very sharp enamel should be respected! You may need a steel trace to attach the spinner or hook onto the fishing line. A great reel is essential and it should take about 120 - 200 meters of line as the Tiger can run long hauls at any given time, particularly, of course, the bigger ones. Bait casters are the more sensible choice and make certain it has a very good drag system. The rod should be firm and approximately a 6 footer. Remember you are not about to cast great distances, but will most likely trawl a spinner. In case you are using a hook and bait, make sure you use a sizeable hook as it needs to withstand a large strike to settle. Round hooks are popular, particularly on catch and release trips. The line needs to be high quality abrasive line and the writer prefers 20 lb breaking strain when fishing the Zambezi.
Fishing in this part of the world is hard work if you are fishing in the best months from October to February. It is very hot and the day is very long but fulfilling if you had a number of fights with a fair sized Tiger. Good fun may be had on light tackle and a spinner going for the smaller ones from the river bank - they put up a superb fight.
Visit Zambesi Lodge, you will not be sorry... in fact you are likely to return - soon!
