Sea Bream on a Fly
All About Sea Bream
Found all over the world, sea bream is a common fish that is caught off of docks, jetties, and out of small boats. They are indeed the fish of the common man as they require very little in tackle, are not very complex, and some versions of them are found in nearly every body of saltwater.
Mako Shark on a Fly
“CAST!” yelled the guide as I stared into the freshly chummed water, turned purple by the mixture of day-old blood with its deep blue beauty. My mind wandered into a zen-like state as the sound of the lapping waves hypnotized my thoughts into the serenity of nothingness. The guide’s command snapped me out of my dream and back to the reality of shark fishing.
Billfish on a Fly
The blue-green sail emerged from the depths behind the teaser rig that bounced about in the boat’s wake. I grabbed the fly rod and gripped it tight, letting my fingernails dig into the cork handle slightly. Looking at the captain, I knew I needed to cast, but we had rehearsed our roles, and I trusted him. The call would come any moment now.
Shark on a Fly
The flats called to me in my dreams for ages, but now I stood on the deck of my boat and saw them as the sun exposed the shallow depths for the first time. While other anglers chased permit and snook, my eyes searched the water for sharks.
Roosterfish on a Fly
The Mexican sun slowly sank into the hazy horizon over the icy Pacific Ocean. One more cast into the crystal-clear blue waters rendered a splash, followed by a fluttering fly that glinted in the last few moments of light. The fly slowly disappeared into the deep blue, holding the rocky outcropping that lived just out of sight.
Redfish on a Fly
With the wind whipping across the deck, the trolling motor keeping the nose of the boat pointed toward the redfish we are pursuing with fly rods in hand, this has the makings of a fine day.
King Mackerel on a Fly
With the sun beating down and penetrating the water into depths that would otherwise be dark as night, anglers along the Atlantic seaboard cast heavy flies attached to heavier rods. With flies the size of fish, alpine fishermen celebrate catching as they probe deep structures hoping for a strike from one of the most sought-after sportfish in the ocean.
Bluefish on a Fly
Stripping in a large, flashy fly as the waves crash around you will quickly progress from serene to tiring. Large streamers cast on heavy, long rods make for great pictures in magazines but strained forearms in reality.
