Moses Matsiko stood on Lake Mburo’s boat dock with no fishing rod in sight, no Simms outfit either; instead an AK-47 casually hung from his shoulder and the distinctive yellow patch of the Uganda Wildlife Authority stood out from his camo military fatigues. Here was the park ranger who’d be my fishing guide for the next few hours.
As I walked toward him, dressed in my button-down Patagonia shirt and safari hat, fly rod in hand, Moses must have seen the look on my face. He smiled.
“It’s for protection against dangerous animals,” he explained, particularly the Cape buffalo and hippopotamus that frequent the area. “Especially if you encounter them when they are wounded, then you have a real problem.”
I jumped into the Land Cruiser, ready for a fishing adventure, hopefully without the need for the AK-47. Welcome to Uganda Fishing Safari, where it’s more about substance and safety than style.
Uganda may seem like an unlikely place for a fishing trip – the country is often called the Pearl of Africa and is well known for its safaris, mountain gorillas, and friendly people – but after a chance encounter at the NY Times Travel Show in NYC, I was convinced that I was onto something, well, fishy, but in an exciting way.
I had wandered into the Africa wing at the cavernous Javits Center when I met Ann Kalembe, owner of a Kampala-based boutique travel outfitter called Gazelle Safari Company. She greeted me with a warm smile and firm handshake. And then she read my mind.
“Perhaps you would like to do a gorilla and fishing Safari,” Ann said.
Did I look like I had fishing on my mind? Yes. Ever since my college days, when I first picked up fly-fishing on Colorado’s South Platte River, I’ve loved matching my passion for travel with a little bit of fishing. In the past few years, I’ve combined cultural and historical trips and wet my line in places like Portugal, Ecuador, Newfoundland, and Japan.
It was a match made in heaven. It wasn’t long before I signed up with Gazelle for a tailor-made, 8 Days Uganda Gorillas, Wildlife & Fishing Safari. “We can’t wait to host you,” Ann said, “and show you our beautiful country.”
The fishing portion of the safari was divided into two main areas: Lake Mburo National Park and Lake Victoria.

When it comes to fishing rods, each manufacturer's terminology varies, and many of the rods are technique-specific.
It is not easy to select the best fishing rod unless you understand the following metrics of a fishing rod.LengthThe length of a fishing rod is the distance it covers right from the tip to the base.
However, shorter rods are more accurate.The perks of a longer rod are that it provides more leverage on the hook set as it takes up more line during a swing.
Go for longer rods if you are after more distance on the cast or more leverage on the hook set.
Using too soft power is more likely to hurt its distance and accuracy, while too heavy power can cause decreased efficiency and backlash issues.
Lure weight ratings are on the side of the rod, while power-weight rating translates to the line.ActionThe action of a rod is vital to its performance.
