Saltflyfish

It was a pleasure meeting Doug and introducing him to our local saltwater flyfishing. We are both “talkers” so a constant exchange of stories soon had us connected by aquantice, brushes with celebrity and circumstance,it really is a small world! He had a tight schedule and could not do the afternoon trip I recommmend during “anchovy” season, however this meant I could show him some sight fishing for snapper which he took to and successfully sighted , cast and caught this new species. We had numerous shots and a few hits from fast moving Kahawai but the anchovy bait balls were spread out and fleeting. In the interests of research I went out again solo to see if the predators had organised the baitfish into the frenzy we call a “bust up”. Sure enough I found them and with the evening tide push I managed a few feisty Kahawai to inspire Doug to make it back down here again and experience this himself.

Looking forward to seeing these good mates out on the salt again!
