Are you interested in sport fishing on river Nile below Murchison falls in Uganda? Most Anglers on the Nile River in Murchison falls national park always needs to know where exactly this activity takes place on River.

Nile perch are used to leave below the falls waiting for the dead animals and also usually the dead plant’s matter floats below the falls which attract all fish to wait for these dead maters. And the water temperatures below the falls make it a favorite breeding spot for the largest water fish species that is Nile peach.
