Lutembo

Lutembo is a stream flowing through Lunda Norte, Angola. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Lutembo, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques

• For Japanese meagre

  Target Japanese meagre during low light conditions or at night, and work lures slowly and methodically near structure.

• For Blue runner

  When targeting blue runners, use a fast retrieve to trigger strikes and use wire leaders to avoid bite-offs.

• For Leerfish

  Target areas with strong currents or tidal flow where Leerfish hunt for baitfish, and vary retrieve speeds to find what triggers strikes.
