As the salmon season season is nearing to an end (31st of March), we thought we’d do a quick recap of our 2015/16 Salmon Season on Lake Mapourika, and show you some pics from a couple of Charters! Good sized salmon were caught really early on this year, and are still continuing to run into the Lake now.
If you’re looking to book a charter after the 31st of March – our Trout season runs all year around! So we’ll be out there fishing for Trout from April onwards.
Here’s a brown trout that we hooked (on a salmon line!) this season. It’s not a huge fish, but a healthy looking trout. Trout can be caught up to 8 pound in the Lake …
The fellow below was over from Australia and had been trying to catch a salmon for 3 weeks straight. He caught this with us on one of his last days in the country! Needless to say he was pretty happy:
A keen fishermen from the Czeck Republic was working at a local backpackers in town this season, and belonged to a fishing club back home. He came out on a Charter to catch a salmon, and send a photo back home to his club. Here’s the happy couple with their big catch:
And of course we love taking people out for their first time fishing! Here’s a family from China that came out to just go fishing! And you know what they say about beginners luck… They caught TWO!
Looking forward to spending the last few days of the season out there! There’s still time to BOOK your charter before Thursday 🙂
