The Nile Perch is a legendary fish, however, it is only since the 1980s that ordinary anglers have been able to fish regularly for this remarkable species, which is one of the biggest freshwater fish in the world. Nile Perch - The Ultimate Guide for Anglers is a comprehensive study of how they can be caught. It concentrates on Lake Nasser in Egypt, an idyllic place where most of the modern Nile Perch fishing techniques have been developed. However, the authors also consider other places in the world where these enormous fish occur and can be captured.
