ANGLING TOURISM: KZN – A Great Catch When It Comes To Fishing Tourism

Even when winter cold bites in South Africa, the fish continue to bite in KwaZulu-Natal’s warm waters. With its mild weather, the province has world-class fishing all year round with the greatest diversity of fishing opportunities in the country.
In South Africa, more than a million people regard themselves as recreational anglers and bring out their rods either for sport or socially. Countrywide, the recreational fishing industry is worth some R19 billion per year and supports more than 100 000 jobs.
Recreational fishing is often linked to holiday peak times. Various types of fishing are available on almost all of the tourism routes across KZN. More importantly, fishing trips have become far less of an excuse for Dad to escape with his mates and more of a family holiday opportunity or a chance to take part in a fiercely competitive sport fishing event.
