Popis: Research on fly-fishing tourism within the Southern African context is under-explored. This paper will seek to investigate fly-fishing destinations sourced from the Federation of South African Fly Fishers guide to fly-fishing destinations in Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean (2010). In addition, this paper will map out the different fly-fishing destinations over Southern Africa for different fish species as well as infrastructural initiatives put in place to support this kind of tourism. This information is augmented by a number of personal in-depth interviews with key stakeholders in the Southern African fly-fishing industry. In closing, this paper will pose suggestions in terms of how fly-fishing tourism can be developed as a form of niche market tourism in the Southern African context and highlighting the challenges faced.
