First Dart fly lines

Received some fly lines to test out from a company called FirstDart Fishing Tackle, the only chinese manufacturer for fly lines.

The line manufacturer provided very little information about their products. They give the feeling of budget fly lines so we’ll have to cast them to see how they perform. According to Nick, they look similar to some other fly lines in the market. First impression is they may not be tropical line. If that is the case, there will be slightly less chance for us to fish them as the majority of our fishing is done in warmer waters. Will let you guys know how they fare as soon as I get a chance to cast them.

Anyone has got any experience with them?

Media

Thanks to Yusaku-San of Drag Free Fly Fishing Shop in Osaka Japan, I get to appear for the first time in a Japanese fishing magazine.

The article and photos are of our recent mahseer fly fishing trip in Thailand. The magazine is of very high-quality in both material and content as what you would expect of the Japanese although I have absolutely no idea of what is written.

Tough day at the office – peacock bass fishing in Malaysia with Bruce

Peacock Bass Fishing

Bruce with the early fish. It then went mostly quiet.

Bruce and Ana from the Netherlands is in Malaysia on holiday and decided to try a day of peacock bass fishing. In a perfect world, fish will be biting every time we hit the waters. Unfortunately things don’t always work out as planned and fishing was tough that day. Bruce managed one fish in the earlier part of the day while there was a few misses.
