Les Tour
Angler fishing a clear mountain river in Lesotho

Lesotho's rivers run high in the mountains, cold and clear enough to see straight to the riverbed. You cast into pools that hold wild brown trout, rainbow trout, and yellowfish — fish that have had almost no fishing pressure, thanks to a catch-and-release approach that's kept these waters this good.

Your guide knows the river by feel: which fly to tie on, when the fish are feeding, and where they're holding. Dawn and dusk tend to bring the best bites, when the trout are up and moving. Whether you've never held a rod or you're chasing all three river species in one trip, the guide meets you where you are.
