Fly fishing in all its forms is the fastest-growing participatory field sport in the world. Whether you're hoping to catch trout, tigerfish, mullet or queenfish, there is a little to match the sheer joy of fishing with a fly rod. Whether you're standing waist deep in a raging river estuary fishing the salt water, or wading slowly into the calm waters of an inland lake, the thrill of casting a perfect line is unmatched. Africa is one of the most exciting fly fishing destinations in the world where dedicated fly anglers can be found casting their lines all over the continent - in steaming tropical rivers, in the vast lake lands of the rift valley, in the various mountain streams, on golden beaches and in turbulent estuaries. Offering everything from the well-fished and managed rivers and dams of South Africa and Zimbabwe, to the relatively unexposed and unknown destinations like the Bale Mountains in Ethiopia and the coastline of Madagascar. Bill Hansford-Steele's African Fly-fishing Handbook is the first ever guide to fly fishing on the African continent. It discusses all aspects of the sport, and includes chapters with information on the following:

  • When and where to fly fish in Africa
  • How to get started and what equipment to buy
  • Casting techniques
  • Tactics and strategies for fresh water and salt water fish suitable for catching on the fly
  • Fish food forms, including an extensive chapter on African insects
  • Winning fly patterns
