Not a soul to be seen, except me, the bubbly blonde PR and the bloke from the Sunday Times, who has the longest lens I’ve ever seen – each of us with a can in one hand and a rod in the other – and our guide, actually, our angling guide, Moses Tembo, he with the talent for pulling four big fish out of the water, consecutively, just for bait – while we would happily have just put those same four fish in the cool-box and claimed them as our catch of the day.
