Footwear:
Almost all fishing is done while wading the sand flats and fossilized coral edges. These areas are very tough on
boots. Only the toughest salt water wading boots will do. We recommend Patagonia Foot Tractor Wading Boots.
These must be paired with a good pair of neoprene gravel guards to prevent sand and corral entering your wading
boots. African Water‘s custom made gravel guards are best for this appli- cation. Slip slops are best for travel days
and around the boat.
Waterproof bag:
A dry bag day pack is indispensible for these trips. Keeping spare tackle, flies, rain jacket, and gear dry while wading
the surf is very important. Patagonia Storm Chaser 30l day pack is the perfect bag for this application and will serve
you well for any fly fishing trip for years to come.
Sports lycra:
Lycra sports tights (thigh length or full length) are crucial to wear under your fishing shorts to prevent chafe from
wading in the surf in wet pants. Long lycra pants help protect against coral rashes and cuts as well.
Wading belt:
A webbing/wading belt is very useful to keep you plier on. It is also a great item to have to sting your wet gear (buff,
hats, shorts, shirts, ski pants) on each evening after rinsing it in fresh water and allow to dry for the next day. It also
prevents it being blow of the live aboard if the wind picks up at night.
Polarized sunglasses:
We suggest Bronze or Green Mirror for this location. Bring a spare pair
Nets:
Your professional guides will carry a net for when fishing for trigger fish. No need to bring any boga grip or nets
Stripping gloves or finger tape:
Stripping gloves that offer both finger protection as well as sun protec- tion are great. Make sure figure protection
extends past last crease in figure that you strip through. Many brands are too short. We like the Glacier Glove brand.
The other option is to pair sun gloves with self adhesive medical tape which you can reapply during the day as
needed.
Useful accessories: Salt water pliers and hook sharpener (though your guides will carry both)
