ZAMBEZI TIGER TIPS

As with all fishing, success is often dependent on seasons and fishing methods. We divide the Zambezi into three sections to give
more insight as to when and where to fish.

UPPER ZAMBEZI RIVER

FROM SOURCE TO VICTORIA FALLS

This section of the river can be successfully fished
through-out the year but one must change methods to
ensure that catch rates remain high. There is a simple
formula; if the fish can see (i.e. water clarity) then it can
chase your fly, lure and bait. Clear water on the upper
Zambezi is common from late May until December.

This massive window of fishing opportunity has its peak
from May-October for fly and lure fishermen. During the
height of the rainy season bait fishing for tiger become
the norm as the waters of the Zambezi River become
wide and dirty, the fish resort mainly to smell to seek out
your offerings.
