About Nahoon River

Running through Eastern Cape, South Africa, Nahoon River is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Nahoon River hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Largemouth bass

    Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

  • For Common carp

    Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

  • For Blue tilapia

    Blue Tilapia often feed near vegetation, so focus your efforts along weed edges or submerged cover.
