The heydays of great Nile perch fishing in Egypt’s Lake Nasser are a distant memory, but Uganda’s Murchison Falls still offers unforgettable fishing for this regal predator and a superb set up for anglers and families. Fishing is largely done from the bank on rocky outcrops that may put you in mind of John Wilson’s and Jeremy Wade’s exploits there. And landing an 80lb-plus fish in such a situation can be a challenge, to say the least, especially as Nile Perch are wily creatures that know how to use the rocks to win. All while you are being watched by some fabulous African game park wildlife. They have been caught to well over 200lb here and certainly over the official IGFA Nile Perch world record of 230lb. If you want the best chance of catching a 100lb-plis Nile Perch, head to Murchison.
