Tiger Fishing

Tiger fishing is the truly exciting activity, which we offer. This species of ferocious fighting game fish is rare to South African waters. Lake Jozini, also known as Pongolapoort, covers 17000 hectares and is the only lake in South Africa which is home to tiger fish, scientifically known as Hydrocynus vittatus, or commonly known as the “striped water dog”.

Good sizes have been caught on Lake Jozini where the official record is 8.3kg.

The tiger fishing season is from August to early November and March to May although we fish throughout the year. The lodge has a selection of fishing rods and tackle for hire.
