RODRIGUES ISLAND: 330 lb marlin on fly


Bob, who is used to fish in Mauritius, came to test Rodrigues as a destination on a single day trip with a friend from a fishing centre based in Switzerland. These specialists in “fly fishing” are successful with a black marlin of 330 lb - 150 kg. Thierry is as much at his ease on the fighting chair as in his single seater craft. Doggies between 15 kg and 18 kg on bait on jigging tackle, wahoos, jobfish, red snappers and bonitos are the main species. The test is thus quite conclusive for this team we liked very much.
