Limpopo

Running through Gaza, Mozambique, Limpopo 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 Limpopo 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 North African catfish

  Fish near structures like submerged trees or rocky bottoms, as catfish often hide there waiting to ambush prey, and using a sliding sinker rig allows for a more natural presentation.

• 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.
