This short film by Fly Fishing Nation showcases the incredible environment of Farquhar Atoll. This tiny island in the Indian Ocean just north of Madagascar is considered one of the worlds most remote fisheries. Commercial fishing and natural disasters have left Farquhar devasted in recent decades, but since the implementation of new protection laws, it’s remained untouched for over a year. Maverick fly fishers Jasper Paakonen, Keith Rose-Innes, Devan Van De Merwe and Marina Gibson are the first the cast a line in 13 months, and they arrive to a seemingly untouched natural world. Some of the biggest Bonefish, Triggerfish, Milkfish, GT and Parrotfish on the planet live in these waters, so on light fly tackle the sport is extreme. Told through incredible cinematography and passion, this film shows off the kind of environment we anglers could enjoy if nature is allowed to heal itself.

We’ve all dreamed of quitting our jobs, packing our fishing kit and heading out into the wilderness to do nothing but eat, sleep and fish. That’s exactly what talented filmmakers and lifelong fly fishers Chase and Aimee did. They swapped the comforts of home for a vintage 1985 VW Westfalia motorhome and headed west, towards the fly fishing Mecca of Montana. After dodging wild, 18-wheeler-flipping storms, and a spell among the geysers and grizzlies of Yellowstone, they eventually make it to a remote lake in Montana rumoured to hold rare Golden Trout. Despite a greuelling hike, the lake proved worth it, and not just for the trout.

Host Randy Bowser takes you on a tour of a couple of the diverse locations available when Fishing the Yucatan Coastline. First up, he and good friend and fellow guide Bob Thomas are fishing on the Ria at their hometown of Progresso. It's a backwater lagoon of crystal clear water that's only 3 feet deep and they're lure fishing for the Speckle Sea Trout that are found here in large numbers. Small rubber jigs and top water lures seem work best, the Sea Trout love attacking the surface lurers and provide some spectacular action when they do so. The second location is the Biosphere Reserve at Rio Logartos, on the Northern tip of Yucatan, where Randy teams up with Diego Nunez Sr. the Reserve is another area of rias and lagoons, but this time they're targeting Tarpon and Snook. They start in open the open water of the lagoon, where they can see the Tarpon and can cast at them. Then they head into the smaller, tighter channels amongst the mangroves where a large fish might be lurking under the vegetation. It's difficult to cast here, so randy has to improvise, but once a fish bites, you know about it. To watch Fishing the Yucatan Coastline now, just login or register
