UGEZI LODGE - CAHORA BASSA
Fishing Tigerfish to 14 kg have been caught, though half that size should be considered a good specimen. The lake also contains various bream species, including Mossambica, three-spot and red-breast, plus catfish and their man-sized cousins the vundu. The other-worldly Cornish Jack and smaller members of the bottle-nose family are also present, as are chessa and nkupe, both of them small-mouthed, rough-scaled and extremely hard fighting fish.
It is recommended that anglers provide their own
tackle, however tackle for spinning and trolling (not fly) can be hired at
the Lodge. Angling is generally good throughout the year. Tiger fish up to
Fly fishing Ugezi Tiger Lodge is a fly fishing haven – the biggest tiger on fly up-to-date has been 4.5kg. Cast & Spinning For Tiger fish spinners (No 3 to 5) with silver or polished red copper blades and red reflecting stickers on the outside or polished red copper efzet or Toby spoons give good results when trolled or cast. Use keel sinkers + - 500mm in front of spinners when trolling to prevent twisting of the line
There are more than 40 species of angling fish in Cahorra Bassa, of which Tiger fish, Bream, Chessa, Cornish Jack and Vundu are the most popular. For a booking enquiry or for more information please contact: NutShell Travel and Incentives All your requirements in a NutShell |

Cahora
Bassa at 270 km long is roughly the same size as Kariba. But whereas Kariba
has many lodges and a great deal of fishing pressure, Cahora Bassa remains
virtually unfished, having been protected first by a civil war and now by
its remoteness. From the wall the first 30 km of Cahora Bassa lies within a
deep gorge before opening out into the main lake. For reasons of distance
and also because the high surrounding mountains offer protection from strong
winds, most fishing is done within this gorge and the various shallower bays
running off it.
14kg
has been caught in the dam, with the average weight from 4 – 8 kg. Lines
with breaking strains from 8 to 20kg
and rods and reels to suit are generally used. The best angling results are
obtained when angling from boats.
