Sexy Flies

Some really awesome flies tied by Gerrit Viljoen.

The shrimp pattern below is a size 12 Swimming Shrimp , note the neat epoxy work.

This fly , The Extended Graphic Caddis Pupa , is most probably one of the better examples where the use of both Synthetic and Natural materials combine in to really fishable fly. The hook size : # 16

Thank you Gerrit , awesome ties!

This Wahoo did not "Clip" the leader .

It is said , a wahoo will reach a speed of 130Km/h in one and a half time it's own body length. Blitzig !!

A Shark Tale

All the way from the Pirate invested Seychelles ,

Lu Claven and a very happy client. The thing these days is to fish for Nice Sharks on the Flats. Lu and his team at Desroshes Island seemed to have cracked the code.

n Maase Haai.

As you can see from the photos , the guys are fishing really shallow flats. Normally the fishing will pick up on an outgoing tide. As the water warms up the sharks tend to pull in.

Thanks Llewellyn, awaiting our next Seychelles report soon.

" one more thing, as you all know , fishing the outer islands on a live aboard yacht has been stopped by the Seychelles government. This leave Desrosches Island Resort one of the few destinations still fishable in Sey. If you need more info you can get hold of us or them direct."
