The Nile Perch is a legendary fish, however, it is only since the 1980s that ordinary anglers have been able to fish regularly for this remarkable species, one of the biggest freshwater fish in the world.  Nile Perch is a comprehensive study of how they can be caught, concentrating on Lake Nasser in Egypt, an idyllic place where most of the modern Nile Perch fishing techniques have been developed. However, the authors also consider other places in the world where these enormous fish occur and can be captured. Recounting the pioneer Lake Nasser fishing expeditions, this guide covers the early angling techniques that were used there and how the lake has developed as a location for a remarkable wilderness fishing experience. Modern Nile Perch fishing techniques are also considered, including tackle, bait fishing, lures and lure fishing, as well as the highly successful fly-fishing. This book also examines advanced bank and boat fishing, vividly recounts the capture of fish in excess of 200 lbs., includes pioneer stories by Bob Kimber and John Wilson, and provides the reader with information about all aspects of the Nile Perch including their biology, ecology, distribution and how to cook them.
