| Publisher Description: Catching a giant trevally (or 'GT') on a fly rod is the pinnacle of flats fishing: highly challenging, requiring skill and preparation. This is the first comprehensive guide to giant trevally fishing on the fly. The giant trevally is an apex predator, and the way it operates is nothing less than brutal. These 'gangsters of the flats' are like packs of hoodlums marauding across the atolls and shallow estuaries. Hunting for trevally in the harsh environment they inhabit needs a certain resolve. The flyfisher's first encounter with a giant trevally will be an electrifying experience. A GT can destroy tackle and ego, leaving all in its wake. But once you've caught one, GT flyfishing is an experience that any angler will want to repeat. |
