Fishes of the Senegal river

The damming of the Senegal river , has brought fresh water to within 9 miles of the coast and with it have come 2 of the most reknowned fighting fish in freshwater. Nile Perch and Tigerfish are plentiful in the lower reaches of the river , and both are a challenge for even the most experienced of anglers.

Fishing days start early around 6am , with the first session ending around 11am and then nother afternoon session from 4 - 8.30pm.

Trolling and Livebait are the best methods for the Big Nile perch , but fly fishing and casting lures can also be effective on their day.

Small 16ft Skiff type boats take 2 persons and are equipped with 15hp Yamaha outboards.

There is also a chance for some Surf casting from the Storm beaches along the coast for Big Guitar fish and Threadfin Salmon.
