Hi Wade!

The tigerfish and Nile perch are found north of South Africa, the tigerfish from Zimbabwe northwards and the Nile perch in the "Great Lakes" area in east Africa on the borders of Kenya and Tanzania.

In South Africa, Bass fishing is growing in popularity, but the main freshwater angling species are carp, bream (genus: Oreochromis and Tilapia) and catfish. Various species of Yellowfish (genus: Barbus) and mudfish (genus: Labeo) are also found - they are great fighters and readily take artificial lures. Except for the carp, the others mentioned are indigenous species. Apart from various species of Bass (Northern strain Largemouths Florida strain Largemouths, Smallmouths and Spotted Bass) bluegill,trout and the European tench (genus: Tinca) have been stocked in some waters.
