What kind of fish is there in Nile? What can you fish on spinning?

Nice article. Have you found any other information since? I’m particularly interested in fish types (are there large sports fish such as carp, catfish, pike or perch), whether they could be caught using static baits such as boilies or lures? Anything would be helpful.
Thanks.
