Return to Tortuga: Fly Fishing in Cuba’s Jardines de la Reina

Mike Green — Sun, 08 Mar 2020 05:32:50 +0000

On the same trip I had caught my first ever barracuda, kingfish and shark on fly. I was on a total high. For the rest of that day I sat happily puffing and watching my boat-partner fish. There was simply no way of upping my enjoyment of the week.

Fly fishing for giant trevally at Farquhar is not for the faint-hearted. Lots of walking, and big waves can make it fairly treacherous for anyone but young, fit anglers. But the rewards are handsome.

Wollaston Lake is a haven for the fly angler. We caught 100 pike, including five 20s, and sixteen walleye. I recommend it wholeheartedly and will be back!

Fun on the Bayou – Mississippi Redfish & Black Drum

To my delight the fish shot forward and engulfed my fly. In a flash all spare line was gone, and the reel screamed in protest, as the beast took off for the horizon.

As some of you may be aware, I am known by some friends as 'Lucky Green', and I have to admit that on this occasion it was fully justified!
