Nile Perch

December 24, 2010

Fishing from the deck of their room, some guests at Wildwaters Lodge recently landed three respectable Nile Perch before releasing them back in the river.  Around Wildwaters, as the name implies, the river is very turbulent and this creates a safe haven for large fish.  It is too dangerous for fishermen to come near with [...]
