@trapperrudd I am hoping to try flyfishing for some tiger and was wondering if you could give me some advice. I am hoping to try at Kasane ( Botswana )and at Mongwe ( downstream from chirundu zimbabwe ) It looks like you guys had a blast
Sorry for the huge delay, I just now discovered how to respond to comments that I didn't even know existed.
I guess I spend too much time fishing. My best advice is to contact the boys at Fly Castaways in JoBerg. These guys know the real scoop. I am familiar with Mongwe, and I do think you will hammer them down there. Good luck brother! Let me know how it goes. Trap
I used Loomis CrossCurrents mostly. 9 weights are perfect, even a 10 weight could barely stop some of these fish. Sorry for the delay, I have been in Belize chasing Permit. So glad you enjoyed the video. Trap
thanks for your reply, i m going fishing on the zambezi in zambia next july, first time i will encounter some of these fish, got to be fun on fly rod!
Redriding, thank you for the wonderful comments. I have many more adventures ahead and plan on sharing them. If you liked this video, check out "Island of the Sleeping Lady" video on my Trapper Rudd YouTube Channel. I think you might enjoy the music on that one also. Really appreciate you great attitude and thank you for viewing. Trap
Damn, that this fish has teeth! It seems more of a crocodile's mouth, haha. It seems to be a good sport fish. Does anyone know whether there is this kind of fish for sale? I would love to have him in one of my ponds.
great video, did a little fishing on the Zim just outside Vic Falls, looks like you had a little better fishing that we did. But it was an awesome experience anyway. Need to go back !!
Hi Trapper...do yourself an favour and check out Masau in Zim. It's on the Delta where Luwangwa and Zambezi meet. You can stand on the bank in Zim and See Mozam and Zambia...it's breathtaking. It's also at the entrance to the Kabora Basa Dam....If you need any contact details, email is michael@saintmichael.co.za. Best time is in October but it's flippin hot...40Degrees plus...
the first song is a band called Wimme, the song is called "texas". It came from an album called "Nordic Roots: A
Northside Collection. the second song is called "African Dream" by Wasis Diop with Lena Fiagbe. It in on an album from Putumayo records. One world many cultures. Hope you find it!!
You know, I believe tiger fish are edible. I certainly saw many of them in the local nets. I have no idea if they taste good. I guess the local villagers find them tasty!
Love it - love it all! The music, the filming, the adventure - it's great. Reminds me of when I lived in Kenya. There is something about Africa that gets you hooked (and no pun intended.)
Jeremy Wade made catching one of these look so hard, but these guys make it look easy. However, the one he finally pulled out of the Congo River was fucking huge in comparison. I wonder if these things will actually grow to 6 ft like River Monsters said?
The tigers in the Zambezi may be a slightly different species. I am not sure if anyone really knows. The Goliath Tigers of Congo seem to be restricted to that drainage. I can tell you this however, we hooked a few from Cahorra Bassa lake (the Zambezi forms this lake) that we couldn't land on the fly. A 20 pound tiger from the lower Zambezi is a real prize. I didn't want to sensationalize the experience like the Network or Cable shows do. Hope you enjoyed the vid. Trap
No worries bud, I didn't take it as a criticism. I appreciate your interest. Now you must go and get some!! You will love it! ps, I have seen some tigers that some villagers brought in on the back of a truck. They were every bit of 6 feet!! Maybe we should plan an expedition and wrangle some for ourselves!!
Keep your eye on the channel, I have some serious adventures coming up!!
Excellent! I love everything ... and that wonderful fish, and knew the tiger fish, but after seeing this video, I am eager to know this wonderful environment, and of course bring my team Fly. Again congratulations. Hernan L. Tula
Absolutely fantastic movie. Love it. Clearly a favorite. Wow these two little boys were lucky. They fight excellent tiger fish. What is the price for such an adventure in the Zambezi River?
Thank you for the wonderful feedback. I am so glad you like it. The little boys were in peril for sure with all the croc and hippo around. trips to the Zambezi usually cost around 3k or so. Most of the cost is in airfare getting there!! Thanks again. Trap
that fish looks half striped bass , half barracuda , one whole badass ... nice video , tight lines and watch out for those teeth !

heh, I didn't mean to criticize your fish at all - it was a great vid =]
I was just curious if the 6 ft ones were just a myth. And yea, I'd bet they're different species - you're fish look a lot prettier (less ugly???) ;)
