Saltwater

Coastal fishing

This is just a short mash-up of footage from a recent excursion to Mission Rocks located in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa. Caught a few small Shad (Bluefish) and a few Surge Wrasse aka the poor man's parrot fish on fly during a spring low tide on 27-July-13.

Fly fishing the beach can be tough

Fly fishing in saltwater can be feast or famine. Its very difficult (at least for me) to consistently find fish.

After The Man

It’s been 13 years since Running Down The Man came out in 2006. After over a decade, fly fishing for Roosterfish from the beach has held its challenging allure for anglers in Baja.

Baja Buffet

Buffet Series Episode 5 - Roosterfish have to be the coolest predator fish on the planet! Phil and I saw so many amazing displays of ferocity while we were in Baja chasing them.

The pike that stared

This was one of those fish that staid glued to my inner eye for a long time. The largest pike I ever caught gave up a very good and pretty harrowing fight.

School of roach

I'm not picky when it comes to fishing and any day I can catch 12-15 fish is a good day - even when the fish are humble roach.

Ken Hanley has done it again - and beat himself at it: made a book about the less traditional fly fishing in the salt. Compared to his previous Fly Fishing Afoot in the Surf Zone, this book has a lot more volume and a lot more content.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
