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.
