10 Jun 09
The vast inland waters of the Mangrove channels which are all part of the Kiunga Marine Reserve provide excellent habitat for varoius species like snappers , groupers , trevally , wolf fish and barrcuda. These are normally caught by trawling a couple of rapalas on 25lbs rod out the back of a motoised canoe . This provides excellent sport , whether you are a keen fishman or not, it provides for a great excursion into the mangroves . The Kiunga Marine Reserve is made up of 50 kms of coast and 4 kms out to sea . This area is protected from full commercial fishing.
For the more serious fisherman who wants to bring his spinning rod or fly rod it provides a challenging sport . Fishing expert Peter Gibson of Hardy Grey came to Kiwayu in March 2009 . His full report can be seen on the webpage of www.aardvarkmcleod.com
Peter caught 70 fish in 5 days including 12 species on an exploratory trip and will be back again this year .
Bone fish have been caught on the mudflats infront of the lodge but not in numbers to say it is a bonefish fishery .
The snappers and groupers hide around the coral heads and provide for exciting and testing fishing . Local knowledge in the form of the Kiwayu guides will show you around this maze of channels . It is their home and they know the area like the back of their hand .
