Trout were first introduced to Kenya in 1905 by the late Ewart Grogan, into the rivers high up in the Aberdare National Park. Since then Rainbow and Brown trout have been stocked into many of Kenya's mountain lakes and rivers, where the drawbacks of a position on the equator are overcome by height. The montane forests and moorlands provide a unique and breathtaking atmosphere as one trout fishes among Africa's amazing flora, fauna and landscapes.

Wet fly fishing is the most popular, but there are one or two places which afford excellent dry fly fishing for the purist. Kenya trout are drift feeders and during the day lie up in the fast water at the head of pools, moving down to the tail-end in the evening, where they usually start feeding off the surface. Owing to the close proximity of trees and bushes, the recommended cast on most rivers is the roll cast and the fly can be presented either up of down stream and across according to conditions. Waders are not necessary in Kenya as most of the fishing can be done from the bank.
