Saul searching sailfish in Kuala Rompin

Saul got in touch and wanted to catch his first sailfish with the possibility of landing his first by fly-fishing.

Saul’s fly setup for sailfish

Saul worked tirelessly casting for his sailfish on fly and on a few occasions came very close as he had a few strikes. Getting a solid hook-up and staying tight is another matter altogether. Therein lies the challenge and allure of catching a free swimming sailfish by fly-fishing.

Ability to cast a heavy fly setup will greatly improve your chances of catching that sailfish on fly
