 The
Mnyera and Ruhudji Rivers together offer one of the
last remaining frontiers of freshwater fishing –
as of November 2008 less than 15 individuals have
fished these amazing waters. Set deep in an untouched
corner of the Tanzanian Wilderness, this area is famous
for being home to monster 20lb+ tigers. The river
banks are also home to big game and many rare and
endemic bird species.
The discovery of this system in August 2008 has been
widely acknowledged as one of the highlights in African
Sport fishing over the past decade. To indicate the
enormity of the discovery, in the past half century
that fly fisherman have been targeting tigers on fly,
a 20lb fish was not landed. This statistic was shattered
in 2008 when 8 fish over the 20lb mark were landed
in as many days at Mnyera!
The season runs from 1st August
to 10th November. It is during these months, when
the water temperatures rise and the clarity increases
that the trophy tigerfish of Mnyera River begin to
feed aggressively. Fly fishing large black whistlers
and clousers,to structure has proven the most successful
way of tempting the brutes of the Mnyera River, into
battle.
The 2009 season’s catch data indicates clearly
that the strict beat rotation implemented was a success.
The average number of trophy fish landed per week
was consistent throughout the season. The discovery
of excellent waters close to the headwater of the
Ruhudji Rivers has opened up a further 30km of productive
waters. We are thus in a very pleasing position of
being able to offer 7 individual beats for all groups.
The season has been limited to the 16 absolute best
weeks in the year with a max of 4 rods per week.
