Fishing seasons
We divide our year into two seasons: summer and winter (Northern Hemisphere).
Summer season (A)– from March to the end of September
From approximately mid March to the end of September the Nile Perch is found in shallow water. This is because the Tilapia, the Nile Perch’s principal prey are spawning, after spawning the huge population of Tilapia fry are growing up; all this takes place in the water between 2- 8ft. This is the best time of the year for shore fishing, also fly-fishing. Trolling provides good sport using shallower lures. There are still a lot of big Nile Perch around but they tend to be less grouped than during winter season.
Winter season (B) – from October until the end of February
The lake is at its highest level and the Nile Perch are found in deeper water. We believe that the bigger Nile Perch are feeding up and then the females group together to get ready for spawning which takes place sometime in January / February. Year after year we capture bigger fish during this season and almost all these fish are caught trolling over underwater promontories and sunken islands. The winter months, except for the month of October, is not the best time for shore and fly-fishing.
If you want to capture the really big fish then the winter season is your best bet. The summer season will provide you with more action and a greater number of fish but the average size of the fish captured tends to be smaller. When referring to smaller Nile Perch we are talking about fish up to 30lb, while the bigger Nile Perch can grow to 300lb+. Please take into consideration that the months of April & May – November & December are the high season and are often booked up well in advance.
