Saltwater Flytying After last week’s positive response to our fly-tying post with David Taylor demonstrating how he ties Brush Flies, we’re back with another highly effective pattern—the SF Baitfish. If you’re into saltwater flytying, this is one pattern you don’t want to overlook. The SF Baitfish isn’t new, but its effectiveness speaks for itself. This...
Brush Flies Brush Flies: If you’re looking for a highly effective tigerfish fly pattern, the Brush Fly is a must-have in your tackle box. These large-profile flies are designed to push water and create an irresistible movement that triggers aggressive strikes. At our camps across Africa, we rely on them for a range of predatory...
Fly fishing in the Red Sea Fly fishing in the Red Sea doesn’t get more remote than the Nubian Flats, and after a two-year closure, we’re heading back in May 2025.
