I was last on the Red Sea in 2014, so it was good to go back. Every season the team sets time aside to expand their horizons to new waters or areas only fleetingly visited in the past. For this voyage, we headed to the Suakin Archipelago, a scattering of tiny islands 60km off the...
When thinking of saltwater flats destinations Sudan is hardly a name that springs to mind. In fact pretty much the opposite. When the Nubian Flats operation was launched 18 months ago, reports began to trickle through of giant deserted flats teeming with fish. There appeared to
So for the final week of the season we were joined by 4 anglers from South Africa. Jay, Steve, Leonard and Jeff. They were teamed up by the duo of Ryan and Dave from Tanzania. The days leading up to the week were quite windy but after a nice week’s break, the guides team

We are more than confident that the Nubian Flats is the real deal, but in order to be in a position where we will be able to offer fully guided trips, we need to put in the ground work to ensure we understand the fishery properly before the 2015 season, and so I find myself...
