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 the Seychelles or St. Brandon's, anglers can expect shots at a wide variety of saltwater flat's species and potentially bluewater species. If you are fishing for less than five days, we recommend a bare minimum of twenty-four flies or a more adequate selection of thirty six flies.

  • How Many Flies? Anglers should bring two to four milkfish snack flies for targetting milkfish. Anglers who want to be prepared to target many of the lesser-known species such as snappers, groupers, trevally, and more should bring an additional 6-12 baitfish patterns. 
  • What Sizes and Colors? Milkfish snacks come in one color pattern to imitate plankton. Bluewater flies should be size 6/0 baitfish patterns.
