Flies for arapaima fishing

Wanted to show you guys what flies we used during our last fishing trip in the ponds of Thailand. Click Fly fishing for arapaima to see one of the post.

The flies were used to target arapaima, amazon redtail catfish, alligator gar and a myriad of others.

If you look at these flies and think they’ll probably work for many other species, you’re right. They can also be used in the saltwater.

This is one of the most effective fly on the last trip

  1. Nice flies! How did you fish them for the Arapaimas? Near the surface/middle of the water column? Dry flies would be fun too :D
