TESTIMONIAL: SALTWATER FLY FISHING CASA VEIJO CHAC

Dear Mat,

..My first experience of saltwater fly fishing bonefish and permit and all the environment and challenges was everything I hoped for. Casting to visible fish ,chasing elusive permit and tarpon in the mangroves. The guides worked well in a difficult week and I was stalking & sight casting to both permit and bonefish on the first day in the shallows….The accommodation and set up are to be recommended. The flats were easy to fish and it was exciting to stalk both bones and permit.

REPORT: Varzina River, Kola Peninsula week 1

A good start to the season on the Varzina this year with big fish moving in the river. During the first week of the season a 15.2kg fish was landed and several others in excess of 20lb. It bodes well for the upcoming weeks as the run of fish increases. We will update with a full report upon the return of this weeks group of UK and Icelandic anglers.

Casa Veijo Chac Permit

Congratulations to Geoff Little who took a big group to Ascension Bay, Mexico in May. He landed this fantastic 18lb permit.

Some thought from Geoff.....

"Mat

Here are a couple of photos from this year's visit, I got the tarpon with Filip and the permit with Jesus; it weighed 18 lbs on his boga grip.

Also the other guys will be put off unless something is done about the road; I think it's election year so they may try and "repair" it but I have my doubts.

Anyway everyone claimed they enjoyed the place and I think we have some converts to salt water fishing.

The lodge was fine, cooking very good, care taken by staff excellent and everyone claimed the guides were really good.

talk soon

regards Geoff"
