Mokolo River

Mokolo River is a river flowing through Limpopo, South Africa. 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 Mokolo River, 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 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.
