Enthused by a wonderful couple of days in March at Kiwayu, of the coast of North Kenya, when we had had fine sport taking Koli-Koli (aka Golden Trevally) on the fly, as they in their turn preyed upon the shoals of sardines, I dared to suggest to Belinda that we once again ventured down to…

The mere sight of a small eel hanging on the line after taking a bait intended for other fish, is enough to send most anglers into convulsions. They hate them and want nothing to do with them. But to a small band of dedicated anglers, this is a very sought-after fish. Are these anglers revolted…

The one advantage that we have is that not many people fish for the carp over here; the people here have that old buffalo mentality ‘well, if it’s not good to eat why fish for it’. Now that’s to our advantage. Trouble is when they do catch one they invariably kill it and throw the…

Last month, I waxed lyrical about the amazing bone-fishing of the Seychelles. It’s quite new, the bone-fishing. The fish have always been there of course, but it’s only recently that anglers have discovered the potential of these gleaming coral atolls of the Indian Ocean, with their creamy powder-puff lagoons, filled with Bombay Sapphire gin

Last month, remember, I went on a bit about Fishing Pornography – the way some angling writers, after a buckshee trip from an airline or whatever, repay the freebie by writing in glowing terms about the fishing, whether it was good, poor or shudderingly lousy. Singing for their supper. Or, in the trade, ‘blue sky-ing’.So…

Right, where was I? Ah, yesWhen I woke up, the whole team had gone, taking with them the jeep and what was left of the vodka. Meantime, what looked like a pair of very large, very mean vultures circled overhead

Most years, I have a short holiday on the coast at Swanage in Dorset. Although I enjoy the break by the sea, fishing is still in the blood and I nearly always have a few early mornings or evenings fishing with my holiday gear at the nearby Arfleet ponds. To be honest I have never…

For me, 2000 AD was the year of the bluefin tuna – you can read all about that in this sites archives. 2001, though, will be, I hope, the year in which I’ll take the first tentative steps toward catching the first broadbill by angling in the waters around these islands.

R?¼information on the boat fishing potential along the East Cape of Baja in Mexico was easy. A few surfs on the Internet, checking through a few books and all became clear. It wasn’t so easy finding out what to expect when shore fishing. Zilch info!

To my knowledge this fishery has never been advertised or featured in any other fishing publication. Yes, a real internet exclusive, and a great little fishery that is offering real value for money fly fishing. As you only pay for the fish you take, this is the place to take a beginner as they are…
