Angling 

Malawi has an amazing variety of rivers, lakes and reservoirs, as well as Lake Malawi which is the third largest lake in Africa as is known to have the largest number of freshwater fish species in the world, making the country a rewarding angling destination. Fishing rods and some equipment can be hired from lakeside hotels and lodges, and boats can be arranged in advance. It is also possible to obtain locally made flies, but it is advisable to bring your own equipment. Angling is possible all year round, but is most suitable from November to April during the rainy season, when there is an increase in fish population  in the various waters. The lake is home to many species of game fish. The central and Northern areas are rich in ferocious tigerfish and lake salmon which offer the most exciting sport. River fishing is best along banks with thick reeds and weeds; the Bua River through the Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve and the Shire River through Majete Wildlife Reserve are excellent angling spots. Trout fishing is also a popular sport in the streams and dams of the Zomba Plateau, Nyika Plateau and Mulanje Massif, where only fly fishing is permitted.
