South African Fish And Fishing

 

South African Freshwater And Inland Fish Species Records And Logs

South African Game Reserves Website Personal Freshwater Fishing Records

The following table is a record list and log of all the Southern African inland and freshwater fish species that my father and I have caught. This angling log is for general interest and the records will show the fish species, location where caught, date, length, weight and other interesting information about the catch. This is all part of the websites long term project of catching as many of South Africa's fish species as possible. Inland fishing is more peaceful than saltwater fishing but generally you have a targeted species in mind when you fish in freshwater ecosystems like rivers, streams, weirs, dams and lakes. It was an amazing adventure traveling South Africa to catch these aquatic creatures... So here is the record book, enjoy!
