| LAKE NASSER |
| Nile Perch and Tiger Fish |
  |
Tim Baily's fishing safaris for Nile perch and tiger fish on Lake Nasser need
little introduction. The lake covers an area of 2,400 square miles and aside from
fantastic fishing it is a magical wilderness of stunning desert scenery. The area is
thinly populated by peasant fishermen and the local residents are Bedouin. Over 100
species of birds have been recorded and in most areas there are crocodile and monitor
lizards. Dorcas gazelle, jackals, desert fox and various smaller desert mammals inhabit
the area.
 
Apart from Nile perch and Tiger fish there are 18 species of catfish and two species of
tilapia. Nile perch is one of the largest freshwater fish and can be caught on conventional
and fly fishing tackle. The most reliable record for Lake Nasser is 392lbs. The
best fish caught on a safari is 230lbs. Tiger fish abound in the lake and 12lb fish have
been caught. The size and strength of a Nile perch is one thing, but for sheer
sport on light tackle, a Tiger fish takes a lot of beating. Catfish offer great sport,
the largest caught to date is 74lb 8oz. |

| NUBIAN
SAFARIS |
| A Nubian safari consists of one or two fishing boats
supported by a mother ship. This safari can start or end on any day
of the year and last for as long as is required which is ideal for anglers
who would like to have the flexibility of deciding how long they
want to stay on a fishing safari. This safari offers a degree of
independence which many anglers prefer and is ideal for two anglers or a
small group of friends who would like to set out and explore the lake, at
their own pace, on a private fishing adventure that has few equals
anywhere. |
