Sport fishing is exciting in Uganda fresh water Lakes and Rivers
In Lake Victoria , trolling with lures is the method of fishing used. All the necessary fishing tackle for Nile perch trolling on the lake is provided but anglers are free to bring their own equipment. Trips can be for the day, no previous experience required, or for longer for the keener, serious fisherman.
At Murchison Falls National Park fish are caught on live bait or with casting lures including Nile perch and various species of cat fish.
There are also a large variety of smaller species, (used as live bait), obtained by spinning including tiger fish. Fishing is either from the river bank or from a boat at the base of the falls area. This fishing is generally done over a few days and can be very exciting but it does require some experience and also a certain level of fitness due to the access conditions.
Fishing Operators encourage the catch and release policy for all trips.
