HIGHLIGHTS: |
All equipment for perch trolling is supplied
on the lake, but anglers are free to bring their own, especially lighter
equipment for tilapia. For the fishing at Murchison, anglers must bring
their own equipment - we will supply a detailed list of what is needed.
We have a stock of lures for use on the lake, on a sale and return basis,
or anglers can bring their own.
Should anglers NOT be able to bring their
own equipment for the Murchison Falls fishing, please advise us and we will
arrange to hire you equipment. A rod and reel, line, tackle box, hooks etc
costs US$ 20.00 per day. Lost/ broken equipment to be paid for.
