Nasser Lake PDF Print E-mail

A trip to Lake Nasser has to be reserved well in advance. We will need to be notified along with the rental reservations.

As the world's largest man-made lake, Lake Nasser is approximately 310 miles in length and, in places, can reach a depth of 600 feet. The lake was created in the 1960s when the world famous High Dam was built. Part of the area Lake Nasser covers today was once the site of the Famous temples of Abu Simbel. The temple was moved but other sites of historical significance were submerged. Other temples that were salvaged were Philae, Kalabchah, Kasr Ibrim, Amada, Kertasi and Dakka.
The lake is home to an impressive variety of birds, mammals, and reptiles.More than 100 species of birds live on its shores among which are wild duck, Egyptian geese, pelicans, herons, egrets and various species of hawks, kites, falcons. Monitor lizards, other types of wildlife include Dorcas gazelle, jackals, desert fox, and various smaller desert mammals can be observed.

Lake Nasser has arguably the best freshwater fishing in the world for both Nile perch and Tiger Fish. There are also several species of catfish and the two species of Tilapia. In all there are around thirty two species of fish in the lake.
The two main techniques used are trolling and shore fishing. Shore fishing requires more skill than trolling, and will often produce more fish. Although trolling is more popular, the bigger fish can surely be caught shore fishing, the record at 179lb

The trip includes the transportation to and from the lake, the fishing equipment, all the meals, snacks and drinks.
