Lake Nasser Fishing

Lake Nasser Fishing. Lake Nasser is the largest artificial Lake in the World, and is located South of Aswan, Sudan. The name of the Lake Nasser is given to the largest part within Egypt, and represents eighty three percent of the total area of the Lake, however the remaining part is located in the Borders of Sudan , which is known as Lake Nuba, which is the effect of the Water which had accumulated behind the the High Dam after the construction , and lasted from 1958 to 1970, and was named Lake Nasser after President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Owing to the vast storage capacity the Lake can hold a whole flood for a period of two Years, whereby amounts of water are drained from the High Dam Lake depending on the water needed for all purposes including Rice cultivation, as well as feeding a large area of agricultural Land for various Crops. Since the Dam has been constructed there has emerged an entirely new attraction in the waters of the Lake Nasser. The reason being is that the size and the depth of the Lake have allowed for several species of Fish that live in the Nile System to flourish and grow to an unequal size. The effect is a growing sport in the Fishing Industry, where Visitors come to take the opportunity to catch some of the largest Fresh Water Fish anywhere in the World. Outfitters escort Anglers out on Day Trips but longer excursions are more popular, which allows the Boats to reach a more remote area to Fish in Private. The Fishing can be done from Smaller Boats as well as from the Shore. Nile Perch is the main target which grow to vast sizes in the depths of the Lake. The current record for a Fish caught in tackle is over five hundred pounds, however the outfitters report that Fish of more than one hundred and fifty pounds are regularly caught, which gives the Anglers the promise of a good chance of catching the largest Fish of their Lifetime. The Anglers also go after several other types of Fish, Nile Catfish grow very large in the Lake as well and there are also the smaller and thrilling Tigerfish, which can grow up to a size of approx.. thirty pounds. In spite of their smaller size they can put up a very strong and athletic fights. Most outfitters are prepared to host Fishermen using the Traditional Tackle as well as those that prefer Fly Fishing.
