From the very first day, things looked completely different. The water was alive, almost like a soup of baitfish, and it instantly lifted our expectations. It didn’t take long to confirm it.

Every bite became hard-earned, and every fish required patience, persistence, and a lot of work.

Looking back, it’s moments like this that define what we do. Fishing is never just about numbers, it’s about connection, teamwork, and helping someone achieve something truly special.

Warm temperatures welcomed us on our third trip of the season, along with a favorable current that set the tone early. Our new guests from Thailand, joined by one angler from Germany, formed a truly unique and memorable group, bringing great energy and plenty of special moments out on the water.

Early in the trip, we lost more than 11 fish and mostly landed smaller ones. Bites didn’t come easily, and our guests had to put in real effort to make things happen.

One thing I truly appreciate about fishing in Djibouti is how much effort you need to put in to earn a big fish. It’s never handed to you on a silver platter, but when that opportunity arises

The fishing was marked by a rhythm of slow periods interspersed with bursts of good action. There were moments of anticipation when the water would go still, only to erupt again in excitement.

The exploration of Djibouti is a project that we carry on for a few years without a proper constancy because of our other commitment to our main destinations, but we do believe there is a high potential for fly fishing and to enjoy a unique fishery where challenge Napoleon Wrasse, GT, Triggerfish, and Queenfish.
