    Default What saltwater species have you caught on fly?

    How many different saltwater species have you caught on fly? I haven't caught many...

    My list:
    Leervis
    Kob
    Klipvis
    Blacktail (a really small one)

    My Wishlist:
    Galjoen (my mission this season)
    Bigger black tail
    Zebra
    Mullet
    Elf
    Bigger Leervis
    Skipjack
    Steenbrass or Grunter
    Kingfish
    and maybe a shark

    Hmmm something seems wrong with this list.... I think I'm not fishing enough... my wishlist is tooo long and my list too short...
