The new short film: “Astove - Fly Fishing Bliss in the Seychelles” is out now. LINK IN COMMENTS.

Astove Atoll’s shallow lagoon, jagged coastline and endless flats surrounded by sheer drop-offs provide unique and versatile hunting grounds for a myriad of gamefish emblematic of the vast Indian Ocean.

Besides GTs, Astove Atoll boasts trophy-sized bonefish, bluefin trevally, triggerfish, barracuda, milkfish and Indo-pacific permit. And if one ventures offshore, one can catch yellowfin tuna, dogtooth tuna, wahoo, groupers, sailfish and much, much more – just meters from the coral reef edge.

Astove Atoll is managed by Alphonse Fishing Co -

https://intheloopmag.com/understanding-the-contradictions-of-atlantic-salmon-conservation/

I have five years’ experience fishing for Atlantic salmon. Back in 2018, I admit, I ate farmed salmon and had to be educated and persuaded as to why I should stop. I have been very lucky; I have picked up the odd bit of fishing here and there while looking after clients in Iceland
