The scenic landscapes around Fort Portal, located in the foothills of the fabled Mountains of the Moon (Rwenzori Mountains), is dotted with many crater lakes, many of which are beautiful to look at but otherwise bare of much economic value other than providing a source of water to the area.

Plans are now underway to stock many of those lakes with fish in order to provide ’sport fishing’ for visitors but also a source of nutrients to the nearby communities, who can supplement their incomes by selling mature fish on the local markets.
