TW001 Preparing For The Tiger Run In Zambia
If you've been goose hunting on the Eastern Shore of Maryland you've probably seen the bumper sticker that sums up the mindset there: "There Is No Life West Of The Eastern Shore!" My Ford pickups in SC used to wear those bumpers stickers. After a few visits to Zambia flying for tigerfish on the Mighty Zambezi I might trade that old favorite for a different version: "There Is No Life South Of The Zambezi!" When the 2011 tiger safari to the Barotse Flood Plain was canceled due to a couple of locals bailing out on me it felt as though there was no life! But 2012 offers the prospects of 7 days in the Barotse Tiger Camp in August so TW001 is beginning to feel the pulse of passion once again. Let's go north and stalk some striped river dogs.
Just pack a proper fly rod like a Sage Xi3 9 wt and a fast sinking Teeny line on a large arbor Bauer reel. Do not leave home without some 30 pound woven stainless Tyger Leader or you are wasting your time (and gear). Then live and let fly!!! Lord willing and the Zambezi don't rise TW001 will live to fly another day. August 11 to 18!
