Publisher's Synopsis
A comprehensive study of how Nile perch can be caught, this guide concentrates on Lake Nasser in Egypt, an idyllic place where most of the modern Nile perch-fishing techniques have been developed. However, other places in the world are also considered, 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 pounds and includes information about all aspects of the Nile perch including their biology, ecology, distribution and how to cook them.
