SWFF – Coastal insights

Simply fishing with the fly in the sea. 🌊🐟🌊

If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry.
Rachel Carson

The beauty of saltwater fly fishing lies in the multitude of genuine opportunities it presents to fully engage in the thrill of the sport amidst breathtaking coastal settings. Whilst out there, on the coast, you have the exciting chance to create incredible angling experiences and build unforgettable fishing memories that will last a lifetime. With dedication and time, you will find immense satisfaction in mastering the art of making great casts, perfecting your loops, and delivering better presentations to catch fish.

There is so much to discover and enjoy – from mastering skills like mending and drifting, to understanding the nuances of leader, line type, fly choice, color choice, weather, wind, and the unique behavior of the fish in relation to the fly.

You may already be well advanced in your approach to bass fishing on the fly, after all, hard earned knowledge gained using other methods will of course transfer to your flyfishing.

Saltwater flyfishing challenges will never stop and they will always change.

If you’ve hit a roadblock or need assistance with a specific aspect of flyfishing for bass then why not plan to come fishing for a few hours.

No charge, no pressure, no major expectations, just flyfishing at the coast for 3 hours with a view to help whilst having some fun!
