I have been fly fishing for about 7 years and only met 2 more maltese fly fishers here does any one else fly fish or is interested in fly fishing. ??? ::)
yes i would like to know something about it... seems nice
just let me know when we can meet up and try some fly fishing
basically i have no idea how to practice it plus i have no tackle of this kind... only some feathers i think my canadian uncle gave me used for trout fishing i think.... just let me know when you are available... shouldn't be a problem to me
if u can , i'd like to join in . i know nothing of the techniques used for fly fishing though , so i'll be a total beginner
I never knew people practised fly fishing in Malta! What species do you target Simon? Garfish?
we targer bass, barracuda, amberjacks, sawrell, garfish, strill and sometimes mullet and xilep from shore.
out with the boat it works well for lampuki, tunnagg, tumbrell, fanfri and imsell tal imperjal
Dear Simon
I have just posted a question regarding fly fishing in Malta on the forum and then read your comments.
I flyfish in england regularly for trout but come to Malta yearly. I would love to try flyfishing for Lampuka. Any advice on tackle and tactics
Regards
Jon Camilleri
yes for lampuki the best is to get on a boat and head towards the tuna farms outside st pauls bay the best lure i found are poppers as it bounces on the surface they usually come up, i use a slow sinking line and cast out about 40ft, as a tippet i use fluorocarbon about 25lb as the lampuki get big.
my rod action is a 7-9
(you can also catch some lampuki from land in certain places or go for a trip with chris fishing mania )
