Gabon Surf Fishing Gabon surf fishing has a habit of making you adapt, and this week at Sette Cama was a good example. Neap tides and a stubborn sandbar made the usual water difficult to fish, forcing eight South African anglers to change their approach. What followed included steady lagoon fishing, a rare wildlife encounter...
Shangaa Tigerfish Camp There are very few genuinely new fly-fishing destinations left in Africa. Most of the continent’s iconic fisheries have long since earned their place on every serious angler’s bucket list. On the tigerfishing front, the latest discoveries being Tanzania’s legendary Mnyera and Ruhudji rivers (Hydrocynus tanzaniae) , the Chinko in CAR (Hydrocynus goliath),...
Tanzania Tigerfish Fishing Tanzania tigerfish fishing is underway for another season at Dhala & Samaki, and after months of preparation, there is always something satisfying about seeing the first guests settle into camp and the boats push off on day one.

Tarpon Fishing From the Beach in Gabon Tarpon fishing from the beach became the focus at Sette Cama this week, with Taru, Roan, Russel and James fishing a mix of conventional and fly gear through a new moon. Spring tides, no rain and a moderate sea kept most of the attention on the surf, where...

Christmas Adventure Holiday When most people think of a Christmas adventure holiday, they picture busy airports, crowded beaches, ski resorts, or long lunches around familiar tables. Few imagine turtle hatchlings making their way to the Atlantic Ocean, tarpon rolling in a remote lagoon, and Christmas evening spent around a bonfire on an empty beach. Yet...
South Africa Flyfishing Adventure Some sections of the Orange River simply demand attention. We found ourselves eating lunch beside one of those places — a long tailout spilling into deeper current below camp.
