Having extensively traveled and fly fished the world, we are the industry’s foremost authority on destination-specific equipment, gear, and flies. Over a week of fishing in Ascension Bay, anglers can expect shots at bonefish, permit, and potentially tarpon, snook, and more. If you are fishing for less than five days, we recommend a bare minimum of twelve to twenty-four flies, or a more adequate selection of thirty-six flies.
Over time, dirt, grime, and other contaminants can accumulate on your fly line, which can negatively impact your casting performance. A dirty fly line can stick to your guides and drag through the water, resulting in poor casting distance and accuracy. Regularly cleaning your fly line can help extend its lifespan. Dirt and other contaminants can cause the coating on your fly line to degrade faster, leading to cracks and other damage that can weaken the line. A clean fly line can help you detect subtle strikes and improve your overall fishing experience. A dirty line can reduce your ability to feel the fly and detect when a fish has taken it.
