Bassa Dam system is the largest hydroelectric scheme in Africa.
Fishing at Cahora Bassa
It is recommended that anglers provide their own tackle, however
tackle for spinning and trolling (not fly) can be hired at the Lodge.
Angling is generally good throughout the year. Tiger fish
up to 14kg were caught in the dam, with the average
weight from 4 to 8kg. Lines with breaking strains from
8 to 20kg and rods and reels to suit are generally used.
The best angling results are obtained when angling from boats.
Fly fishing : Ugezi Tiger Lodge is a fly fishing
haven – the biggest tiger on fly up-to-date has been 4.5kg.
Cast & Spinning - For Tiger fish spinners (No
3 to 5) with silver or polished red copper blades and red reflecting
stickers on the outside or polished red copper Efzet or Toby spoons
give good results when trolled or cast.Use keel sinkers ±
500mm in front of spinners when trolling to prevent twisting of
the line.
