50 Pristine Miles When we first shared the Operation 50 Pristine Miles story, it was all about action—boots on sand, daily cleanups, and a coastline slowly coming back to life. But something unexpected grew alongside that physical effort: a growing pile of strange, weathered, sometimes baffling objects pulled from the beach. Over time, these objects...
Makhangoa Community Camp fishing Makhangoa Community Camp fishing this week delivered everything from dirty water drama to explosive dry fly eats. The rains returned to the Bokong catchment, and while the river looked prime in terms of flow, visibility tanked—turning it chocolate brown and pushing the yellowfish down into the dam. No one flinched. We...
Bullshark Fishing It’s been a solid week of bullshark fishing in Gabon, made even better with Jako Lucas and his dad, Dirk, in camp. The two of them have been fishing together since Jako was a kid growing up in South Africa—mainly chasing ragged tooth sharks and bronze whalers on the Eastern Cape. So this...

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. This is one of the few places left where you can experience truly untouched saltwater fishing, and we’re opening up three spots for those...
Sette Cama Fishing Trip Spending the festive season on a Sette Cama Fishing Trip is a fine way to wrap up the year. This time, we welcomed a diverse group—four South Africans, three Brazilians, and a Frenchman—who wasted no time making friendly wagers on who would land the trophy fish of the trip. They weren’t...
