My most ambitious editing effort yet - part 1 of 3 covering 11 days of fly fishing for giant trevally and more in 2022.

I hope you enjoy watching this film as much as Reptile Robb and I had living it.

This film covers the highs and low of exploratory fly fishing at its finest in the Gulf of Aden. Reptile and I headed to the Horn of Africa in spring 2022 with high hopes for fly fishing for giant trevally and triggerfish and anything else we could find.

The fishing that unfolded was the most heart-pounding, spirit-crushing and exhilarating saltwater fly fishing I have experienced.

Fish encountered:
Giant Trevally
Titan Triggerfish
Yellowmargin Triggerfish
Napolean wrasse
Indo-Pacific Permit
Bluefin Trevally
Yellowspotted Trevally
Parrotfish
huge Grouper
all sorts of small grouper
sweet lips
and more !

11 DAYS of GIANT TREVALLY FLY FISHING & CAMPING near a CONFLICT ZONE - Horn of Africa (part 1)

Part 1 goes live on 6/6/26 at 10am

Join me in watching on the largest screen you have this Saturday, June 6 at 10am eastern!

Fly fishing lefty in the salt has been on the to do list for a bit - if you’ve watched over the years- you’ve likely noticed I do a backcast delivery often (a ton lol)

this was the perfect start - wind across my right shoulder, happy tailing bonefish, and already plenty of nice fish to hand for the day. Now can bring myself to cast lefty at a tank rooster or permit this year? We shall see (im scared bro)

Tip: if you want to get better at quickly and safely holding fish for photos (out of the water for less than 5 seconds imo) - hold fish the same ways EVERY SINGLE TIME. I put my right hand under the dorsal fins and then left on the tail unless it’s selfie time then it’s right hand only

Slovenia April 2026 - my first ever international fishing trip in 2014 and still my top pick for the finest sight fishing trout waters in the world.

It does not get classier than fly fishing for marble trout. What a place, what a fishery. No way I wait another 4 years to go back!

My largest grayling to date (been lucky to guide many big-uns), lots of fun rainbows and the star of the show, the endemic marble trout. Rooks and Jackson waded and hiked to exhaustion and Lesly excelled yet again as the best sight fishing trout guide around.

final day big Marble Trout !

sight fishing in canyons is 100% my favorite way to fish for trout. I could not care less about Colorado style pocket water. Boring ! Give me sheer drops and minimal odds of an easy landing of the fish and I’m in!

canyon chute marble trout on day 6!

super fun one. this reminded me of my very early days with a fly rod - inspired by Big Two-Hearted River - I would put a bare hook thru a live grasshopper and then let it drop down and bounce along a deep, narrow run below a waterfall, jigging the rod occasionally to give action/ check for a bite. Except this time it was a heavily weighted streamer and sink tip!

fly fishing for rainbow trout in Slovenia last week

One thing you learn quickly in the Soca valley - the water is always wayyyy deeper than it looks. The water clarity and rock color will play tricks on your mind. If I slipped in trying to land this guy, I’m not even touching bottom (8+ feet deep easy) And no split shot or bobberdawg allowed - so you gotta find the fish when they move shallow and get the right fly in front of them asap !

final day dreaming while fly fishing for marble trout in Slovenia

From up high in the canyon, I spotted this marble feeding mid depth at the back of a deep pool that luckily had a small rock ledge at water level at the head

I scrambled upstream and climbed down to the water and began the streamer dance.

Jackson and I committed to fishing early for the final day, so this all happened as the sun started to climb over the alps. Chilly start well worth it !
