Kenya Fly Fishing - African Kenya Fly Fishing in Kenya Parks

Trout fishing
If trout is your prey and you enjoy beautiful mountain scenery, you will love the Aberdares Mountains. Since there are few tourists in the area, it is peaceful and quiet. Although the fish are not large, they are plentiful, despite the bait fishing of temporary

residents.
A map of the area is a good investment regardless of how far you wish to go off the beaten track, but an easy trip for beginners is the Fisherman's amp in the Aberdares National Park. Check with The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) about road conditions and book one of the bandas at the camp through them. KWS can also help you to obtain a fishing license. You should always fish with a companion in the Aberdares as wild animals (including lion) and slippery paths and rocks can be dangerous. It is also a good idea to take two reliable four-wheel drive vehicles on the trip.
The Chania River is very near the camp and holds significant numbers of trout. Above the bridge is a very narrow stretch of water, but you can pull out many trout in a very short period of time. (You won't have much space to cast, but if you practice on the wide stretch below the bridge, you'll be ready.)
Below the bridge are some lovely pools full of trout, and if you continue to hike along the river, you will find some very large pools with larger fish. Roll casting is best here due to overhanging branches. Depending on whether fishing conditions are dry or wet, the best flies to use are the Adams Irresistible, Kenya Bug, Mrs. Simpson, and Royal Coachman. Kenya Trout and Salmon Flies Limited of Nairobi is good place to buy your flies. With three or four days advance ordering, they can tie a few dozen for you for an extremely reasonable price.
Another good place for the beginner is the Aberdares Country Club. The club stocks the stretch of the river running along the boundary of the clubs property, and the friendly staff at the reception will gladly direct you to the best fishing spots. If you walk for about two Kilometers up stream, you will find a very large pool that looks like a fishermen's dream. It is. If you fish this pool, you will very likely have your own fish for breakfast.
Trout fishing in Kenya is as good as anywhere else in the world. Although the trout in the lower regions of Aberdares are smaller in size. They more than compensate in their small size with mass. There are far too many trout in the stocked streams in the lower fringes of the Aberdares. These are suitable for those that don't want to go through the rigours of climbing higher up and accessing thick bushes to get to the rivers from the main roads.
Kenya trout fishing without appreciating the surroundings is ike having unsalted fish altogether. The Aberdares moorlands are equivalent to the moss filled dew trapping cool undergrowth highlands of the UK. The vegetation and landscape is just breathtaking. So while you are there fishing make sure you take some photos of you, the fish, you and the fish and of course the landscape.
Caution here, the lions of Aberdares have been said to be fond of stalking lone fishermen in their reverie of drawing fish from the rivers. It's therefore always advisable to go through the established fishing clubs which will have information on safety and the location of wildlife. Doing a solo thing in Aberdares might be rewarding in having the fish to yourself but could also be costly.
