The long week-end at the end of April opened up an opportunity for a welcome, well deserved break and a time to relax, rest and reflect...!!!
Fishing (catch and release) in the Okavango river, the border between Namibia and Angola, is one of the most tranquil and rewarding experiences for a sport fisherman. The river subsided considerably by the end of the rainy season with very pleasant weather. Excellent conditions for fishing and wildlife (hippo's, crocodile's, birds etc) observation.
I caught and released more than 50 Nembwe (briem) and other briem species along with countless amounts of smaller ("malkop") and bigger (3-6kg) Tiger fish. Most of the time was spend drifting live and dead bait for tiger fish.

Impression: The strike of a large (even small) tiger fish must be among the best in fishing
