In 2006 Jeff had the wonderful opportunity to fly fish for Nile Perch in Egypt's Lake Nasser. Jeff was invited on this expedition by Chris Bailey, the host of TV Show "Reel Outdoors". Jeff was assigned the duty to figure out how to catch a Nile Perch on a fly rod. If he did, there would be a TV show about it.

Too the surprise of all, Jeff managed to catch many Nile Perch on the fly. "Reel Outdoors aired two shows about the excellent fly fishing both Jeff and Chris encountered during the expedition. They each managed a Nile Perch of 40lbs!

The fantastic trip was organized by the African Angler. During this trip Jeff became close friends with African Angler owner Tim Baily. Although Tim is not a fly fisherman, he found himself intrigued by the new tactics Jeff used on Lake Nasser. It was during the 2006 trip that the plans for a 2007 return trip to Egypt was planned.

In this section are the stories and pictures from this newest global fly fishing adventure.

	Jeff thought he spotted this Nile Perch too late. The fish was swimming the shorline when Jeff spotted it only 10ft from his rod tip. He froze like a stork and the monster Nile swam past him unknowing of his presence. Once the fish was out of sight, Jeff dropped a 20 foot cast in the direction the fish was heading and wham! The mighty perch was on! The fish was too big to weigh on Jeff's 30lb Boga Grip and was estimated at 35-40lb!

Jeff opted for a beer and enjoys the fact that his last cast in Egypt resulted in a magnificent Nile!
