Best Fishing Holidays in Morocco

Two oceans; over 300 miles of Mediterranean coastline and 2000 miles of Atlantic coastline; snow-capped mountains up to 13.700 feet high with innumerable rivers flowing down their slopes; over 200.000 hectares of wetland and a fluvial network of thousands of miles; dry, hot deserts magically spotted withwadis and oases; this is just a sample of what Morocco has to offer you if fishing is your passion.

Morocco enjoys excellent conditions for fishing both in fresh and salt waters. The stunning landscapes, the warm and sunny weather and the biodiversity of its coasts and countryside guarantee a most rewarding and memorable fishing adventure in one of the most impressive fishing venues in the world.

In Morocco, anglers and fishermen and fisherwomen will have many opportunities for fishing inland, in the quiet waters of the rivers and lakes throughout the country, as well as at the seaside or on the wide-open seas and in their depths. Visitors can head out into the ocean to enjoy excellent deep-sea fishing or appreciate the tranquility and the panorama at the bank of a river or while sitting on a boat in the middle of a lake.

If your main interest is to fish inland, the Middle Atlas is probably your best choice, since it provides many opportunities in its lakes and rivers. Although many species can be fished in Morocco's fresh waters, trout is probably the most common inland catch. It can be fished in the wadis and in the stunning gorges, and some of the best spots for fishing trout are the bases of Azrou (near the Aghmas lakes), Khenifra on the Oum er Rbia River, Ifrane and its wonderful National Park, and Ouirgane on the Nfis River. Also, Bin el Ouidane, near Beni Mellal, is a great spot for fishing its huge bass.

But Morocco's lakes are packed with dozens of species of fish and provide spectacular sights. The most usual species found in Moroccan lakes are pike, roach, black bass, barbels, perch, carp and eels, and the season is generally between May and June, depending on the species. Also, many anglers recommend the region near Bab Adrar D'Atlas, which is Berber for "The Doorway to the Atlas Mountains", where there are several deep mountain lakes. There, black bass, barbell, perch and trout are fished.
