Fishing at Iguéla
is more about the whole experience than just the fish. It
is about fishing in an environment that represents how coastal
western
Africa must have been before man reduced it to the skeletal
remains we see elsewhere. Fishing at Iguéla is
about appreciating the beauty of Central
Africa , the vast waterscapes, the primal forests, the wildlife,
and the spectacular fish that inhabit the estuaries.
Where else can you fish from
the beach and at the same time expect to share your stretch
of sand with elephant and buffalo? Sportfishing, in the true
sense of the word, is a new concept in the region. Operation
Loango implements a strict set of fishing rules (and no trophy
fish, fish larger than 10kg are killed. (pls also see the
attachment).
The list below is
a record of some of the saltwater fish species that occur
in the various habitats around the Petite Loango, Iguéla
and Fernan Vaz areas. Habitats inhabited by saltwater fish
in the area include: mangrove swamp, salt marsh, tidal lagoons,
forest rivers, seasonal swamps, and equatorial Atlantic Ocean. |
