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 with wadis 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.  

But if you prefer to go head out to the ocean for your fishing, there are just as many opportunities. Morocco's sea fishing, especially along its Atlantic coast, is very rich and varied indeed, and will not disappoint you. Its coast is said to be one of the richest in the world, with an annual catch of over 430,000 tons. Deep sea fishing is also a possibility at hand and boat trips can easily be arranged from Sakhla in the Sahara and Mohammedia near Casablanca, two of the most well-known fishing ports on the Atlantic coast and the whole country, and Moulay Bousselham, near Kenitra, is also a good option.  

Also, another favourite fishing spot on the Atlantic coast is the beautiful fishing resort of Essaouira and its surrounding coastal villages, just 100 miles West of Marrakech and about two hours from Bab Adrar D'Atlas. Also, here you will enjoy plenty of opportunities to enjoy beach casting and boat trips, as well as Big Game fishing out in the ocean. Besides its fishing, Essaouira also offers a wide range of tourist attractions and places of interest, among which its fascinating medina, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.  

The main species found in Moroccan ocean waters are mullet, common and red sea bream, sole, rockfish, solleta, bonito, sea perch, sea bass, bogue, eel, hake and chad, among many others. During your deep sea fishing you are bound to find the more challenging tuna, swordfish, barracuda, grouper and marlin. So, as you can see, the variety of species in the waters in and around Morocco is enormous and its seas abound with life and beauty.  

But, as in many developing countries, water is a vital and priceless resource. Moreover, as in most African countries, it is also a very scarce one indeed. Particularly Morocco, with over 2000 miles of Atlantic and Mediterranean coastline, has a very heavy dependence on water and its proper maintenance and care. The diversity of its wildlife, the stability of its developing but still poor economy and, most importantly, the health and welfare of its people rely crucially on its cleanliness, supply and sustainment.  

Many organizations and associations are working conscientiously to avoid the dumping of industrial waste onto the sea, for the conservation of the sea and fresh water sources as well as some of the species that inhabit it, and against the inequitable allocation and lack of provision of water. But all these circumstances, which have caused an enduring crisis that points to fatal long-term consequences, are still an unfortunate occurrence, although avoidable if we become aware of them and campaign or act upon them.  

So, come to Morocco and enjoy one of the best, most varied and attractive fishing locations in the world. Its climate is mostly warm and sunny all year round and its landscape impressive. Besides, Morocco offers countless attractions and assets: a fascinating, millenary history; a rich and exquisite cuisine; a most diverse and affordable accommodation; and a people notorious for their generosity and hospitality. And of course, a fragile but precious, invaluable water. 

Your fishing Moroccan expedition will be even more successful if you choose the most suitable accommodation Morocco has to offer according to your needs. Many hotels in Morocco will even plan your fishing expedition to the last detail, and will be happy to recommend you the best way to find the finest catches.
