Fly fishing trolling

Couple of days ago,we decided to try some fly fishing around two islands not far from Kuching.We also did some trolling and some popping.The weather was perfect,the water was almost like glass,no wave,especially the part of the sea that get covered from the wind by the islands.But the water underneath was not really good,there was no current,so the fish were not so active.And the big downside,it was  full moon!

The ever happy anglers

The ever happy boat boys..

Loco's new toy

Trying new technique,fly trolling..

The ever proud angler..

This part of the island was a bit choppy.

This part was a lot calmer..

Super calm sea.

The beach where the turtles land and lay eggs.

Trying some fly fishing..

Trying some popping..

One barracuda jumped out of the water but missed the popper..

This poor bill fish just managed to get his head landed on the boat..the other parts of its body were taken by a big barracuda.

Not many action on this trip..the closest one was a big barracuda.It was almost landed but it managed to escape the hook when we were trying to hook it up to the boat...
Anyway...its always a good trip.

Fly fishing in Borneo

Loco is back to town and brought with him 2 fly fishing sets from Paris.
This method of fishing is still an alien in Kuching...and this evening we tried it at a touristic beach with a lot of people having picnic at the beach and they had something new to watch beside the sunset,wave and the hornbill sculpture.

The tide was a little bit high..

Perfect time of the day for fishing..

but not the right time of the month..

It's full moon !!!...

But its OK,as long as you can practice..

with big space behind you..

and big sea in front of you..

the sky was a little bit hazy..

the sun was hiding...

getting better and better...

cast after cast..

the haze took away the beautiful sunset...

fly on the water

more line out..

tango in the water..

the hornbill that never fly...

the beach with lovers on Saturday evening...

new French specialty,the fly..

'Petite problem, Loco?'

 

Well..there were some small fish chasing the fly but no hook up...
Till next time..tight line..or should I say,bend it like Beckham?!!!
