Fly fishing Aruba

Three years ago I moved to Aruba, but because I could not find much information about fly-fishing on the island it took a few months before I started fishing again.
Walking the beach at sunset one night with my wife chanced everything.
Always watching movements in the water made me discover tailing bone’s.
It did not take long before I hooked on fly-fishing again!
The nice thing for people who like too fly fish in Aruba is that you can almost fish anywhere on the side of the island where all the hotels are.
There are many different species to fish for, but my favorite will always be the bonefish!
Searching for bone’s, I also bring a steel leader just incase and last week it paid of.
Last week when I did not find a bonefish and was just about to give up I saw movement in the water.
When I took a better look my hart stopped and before I started breathing again I put on a steal leader and after a few try’s it happened, I hooked my first shark!
And fishing with a 12 pound test leader it took a while before I landed him.
I knew I had a camera in the car and was not too far away.
It was only a small bull shark but it did not take long before half the island knew about it!
So if you come to Aruba bring your best rod and not just flies for bonefish.
Remember there are no shops that sell fly fishing gear!

Aruba is great. I've got friends (from the Netherlands) that highly recommend the isle - for fishing and much more

I sent laurenz several messages via his facebook page but all i got back was spam messages which was a shame as i was there on the 31st and hoped to do a trip. I guess i should have gone through his site..

What a lovely it was, I spent the afternoon around malmot but didnt spot any bonefish.

ok no worries.

if your settings are correct you should still get an email when someone sends you a message on facebook. log into fb, at the top next to inbox you will see a number telling you the number of messages you have waiting. Click on inbox to read them.

the spam i got tells me you have a virus / trojan on your pc somewhere which is using facebook to spread. you might be able to see the messages you have been sending by looking in the inbox and clicking on SENT in the left.

hope this helps
chris
