Here are some of the fish you can find in Lake Nasser. Another interesting experience is shore fishing. Where else for instance can you work artificial lures from the shore anywhere in the world either in fresh or salt water and encounter fish in the 20 - 100lb plus category. Nasser is quite unique in this kind of experience.

The Nile perch

It is a large-mouthed game fish that grows up to 6 ft (1.8 m) long and 400 lbs (180 kg). It is a predator and feeds on other fish. The Nile perch is the largest freshwater fish in the world. There is an account from Lake Victoria where local fishermen caught an incredible 232kg (516lb) Nile perch. The biggest recorded Nile perch from Lake Nasser is 1 76kg (392lb). The all tackle world record for Nile perch was a spectacular fish of 213lb and the second largest was a 210lb Nile perch. The largest Nile perch caught on an African safari was 6'2" long and had a girth of 4'11". Research shows that Nile perch have a better chance of reaching record sizes in lakes rather than in a river system, there is every indication that there are massive fish still living in Lake Nasser

Tiger fish

abound in the lake, and of the two species the most common is Hydrocynus forskalli that grows to 7kg (15lb+). Tiger Fish are related to the South American Piranha and just one look at their vicious teeth, leaves you in no doubt that they are savage predators. The size and strength of a Nile perch is one thing, but for sheer sport on light tackle a Tiger takes a lot of beating. Not only is the tiger a beautiful fish, but its ferocious elegance will get any person adrenaline going, few fish have such a fierce fighting energy.

Catfish

provide an exciting challenge. There are 18 species found in the lake, two of which are of interest. These being the Bagrus and more notably the legendary Vundu of Lake Kariba (Zimbabwe South Africa) fame. If you hook a Vundu it will give you an unforgettable fight. The local fishermen talk of specimens that can achieve weights of well over 100lb, the largest Vundu we have caught to date was an 86 pounder. Methods of fishing are varied, you can either troll from well appointed boats or lure cast and fly fish along the shoreline. Shore fishing is an exciting challenge and has also produced a lot of big fish, the largest shore caught fish to date is a 179lb Nile perch.

Lake Nasser fishing Equipment:-

Trolling Rods & Reels

Trolling rods are generally boat or up-tide rods of 20 - 30lb class and between 7' and 9'. These should be teamed with medium sized multipliers capable of holding 200 yards plus of 30lb line. Abu 7000s and 10,000s, Shimano TLD 15s and Penn GLS 25s are top of our list.

Shore Fishing Rods & Reels

To land a big fish from the shore, you need to fish heavy. Rods should be 10' - 12' with a test curve of 3.5lb - 4lb. Reels should be big enough to hold at least 200 yards of 20 - 30lb monofilament.

For Tiger fish and smaller Nile perch, you can use lighter tackle. A carp or spinning rod of 9' - 12' with a test curve of between 1.5lb and 2lb with a good medium fixed spool is ample. Line class should be 15 - 20lb b.s.
