There are 3 main ingredients that make up the recipe for a successful week here in Sette Cama: Water, Light, and Bait. When we have two of them line up we expect good fishing. When all 3 coincide, the fishing can be out of this world.Our second Week of the 2020 season provided just that,...

Gabon – starting 2020 off right. I don’t get out of the office much these days. Spreadsheets, budgets, logistics and negotiations take up the majority of my time, and time out of the office is carefully allocated between fatherhood and the rare occasion when I have an hour spare and the waves are decent enough for...

Entering Week 4, we were joined by our annual Japanese group, hosted by our good friend Masaaki Katayama. Accompanying them this year was a TV crew from Japan, who had arrived with the group with the sole intent of filming the capture of the full plethora of Gabonese pescatorial giants on offer here at Sette...

Sette Cama continued where it had left off with our departing guests, greeting our new arrivals with torrential rain. Rain, rain and more rain was the theme of the week.

Fly fishing at Sette Cama is certainly not your average day of casting flies to tailing fish. In contrast, you are blind fishing in pounding surf, often fighting wind, and a big portion of this is done mostly at night. So it’s most definitely not every fly fisherman’s cup of tea

For the second week of the 2019 season, we had a group of returning guests joining from South Africa. With the previous week ending on a high, the guys were very keen to get stuck in.The skies were still very heavy after some big downpours – The resulting “gingerbeer” water was

Week 3 of the 2017 season we were joined by a group from the UK plus one South African guest. Unfortunately for the new guests in camp, the good fishing in the surf slowed down dramatically compared to the the previous week. We’ve not had rain for almost two weeks now, which is

The 2015/2016 season was one of the best seasons we’ve had in Gabon, and even though that season is in now in the past, it was clear that the first week of the 2016/2017 season picked up exactly where we left off a couple months earlier. In near perfect conditions, the week was
