Nubian Lake (Nasser lake) fishing Safari

A Fishing Safari on Lake Nasser is a must for those who enjoy getting away from it all. The areas where we fish are extremely remote and you will be literally completely cut off from the rest of the world. For those who have a sense of adventure and appreciate outdoor life, A Fishing Safari on Lake Nasser is a perfect match.

Lake Nasser is renowned for its fishing – for Nile perch (the largest caught weighed 176kg, just short of the world record), huge Tilapia, Piranha-like Tigerfish, and 18 kinds of Giant Catfish. After Tilapia (at the bottom of the food chain) spawns in mid-March, Perch and Catfish thrive in depths of up to 6m (20 ft.) till late September, after which big fish are caught in deeper water until February by trolling over submerged promontories or islands, and by the shore- or fly-fishing from March to July.

Summer season – the second half of March to the end of September. At this time, the Nile perch rests in shallow water, at depths of 2-6 m. This is due to the fact that at this time there is a spawning tilapia, and after hatching there is accumulated a huge kolichestvo fry. This is the best time of year for fishing from the shore. Trolling at this time gives good results with smaller lures. August and September are very hot months and the reason we do not recommend.

Winter season fishing – from October until the end of February. During this period, the lake is at the highest level, and perch kept at great depths, gathering groups in anticipation of spawning, which occurs in January and February. In the winter season fishing is usually done by trolling over underwater promontories, and sunken Islands. In October it’s still possible fishing from the shore, but later she did not give the result, and it comes to trolling and vertical jig.

If you want to catch really big fish, the winter season is the best choice. The summer season provides a wider range and greater number of fish, but the average trophy size on summer fishing is generally less than winter fishing. However, summer fishing on lake Nasser remains interesting and exciting, besides, small Nile perch, are species weighing 10 to 20kg.

Lake Nasser was once the home of over 90 thousand Nubians, who were forced to relocate after the High Dam was built. They left behind houses, farms, and palm trees, submerged by the water when the lake filled up. Hardly any Nubians live in the area now, but your boat captain or the fishermen might be one of them.

For most of the Egyptians, Lake Nasser (The Nubians Lake) is famous for the Big Nile crocodile, which, though they are found throughout Nile Valley in Egypt, are particularly populous in this lake.
