Fishing the Barotse Floodplains
Your time fishing the Barotse Floodplains will mainly be spent targeting the trophy tigers and bream that are found in these waters. During September, the fish will be responding to lures (trolling and spinning), fly fishing and drifting with live-bait. The camp record is 22lbs with a number of 15-20lb fish taken every season! Bream, in particular nembwe, are also found here and get up to enormous sizes with 6-9lb bream being possible to target on fly and lure. In addition to our fishing the main Zambezi, there are options to journey to the LUNGWEBUNGU & KABOMPO rivers (water levels depending) and potentially overnight in these areas as well.
