Mupata Gorge:
Mupata Gorge is a fly fisherman's heaven. The dynamic
fast flowing water, dotted and flanked with sand banks,
rocky islands, big eddies and deep pools thus providing
fly fishermen with a myriad of fishable lies in which
to target trophy tigerfish on fly.
This venue differs from most on the Zambezi (both Upper
and Lower) in that the waters fished have the characteristics
of more technical river fishing, yet on a far bigger
scale. Due to the 'tight' nature and structure-rich
waters of the Zambezi as it flows through the Gorge,
fly fishermen are kept busy casting into productive
lies.
