Fly fishing
 
It is 9 years now that we are specialized with fly fishing. We are proud to say that we already have a specific technique and equipment for big Nile Perches.
The rod: 9 ft for 11 to 12 sinking line is the best. Take one with a tip action. Bring also a 8 line for smaller perches and Tigers.
The reel: It should contain 200m of 30lbs backing, with a good brake system.
The line: I use 2 types, a 11 very fast sinking (Teeny or Rio 400) and a 8 intermediate for smaller perches and Tigers. Bring spare line in case a big perch brakes it in the rocks.
The flies: Stephanie GIRARDEAU, our specialist, clarified special streamers for Lake Nasser. They have to be big, around 20 cm, with 2 strong single hooks 5/0. Rabbit gives them a good appearance and you think they are alive once you put them in the water. Make the head heavy and the knot must let your fly free, a loop knot will be perfect.
All the big flies for pike can work but they should be strong with very sharp hooks. Many colors work too with a special mention for chartreuse and orange, black.
For tigers, use small streamers for trout or bonefish.
Take a banana bag with you to carry your flies and small equipment when you fish on the shore.
