Fishing guide
Congo Yellowfish (Labeobarbus stappersii) is a large omnivorous schooling bottom-dwelling fish. It prefers deep places with a slow current and areas near the water edge bordering on coastal forests.
Apart from its impressive size, this fish is also exceptionally strong and very feisty when being reeled in, which makes it a desirable trophy. It eats everything from plankton to small fish, but the basis of its diet is insect larvae and other small invertebrates, which the Congo Yellowfish often digs out from under rocks. This fish is active both during the day and at night. Under favorable conditions, its weight can reach over 9 kg (2 lb).
If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Congo Yellowfish would be to use Sweet Peas on a size #1 hook.
