Opportunistic Cuba - A Fly Fisher's Journal

It's not often that I get the chance to wet a line in saltwater, actually,
this year was my first! After capitalizing on one of the infamous (and very
cheap) last minute vacation deals to Cayo Guillermo, a very small island off
the Northern coast of Cuba, I started toying with the idea of lugging a long
rod with me, if for nothing else but to cast in a completely foreign
backdrop. As our departure date neared, I felt more and more confident
that some hastily tied saltwater flies and my 8wt would provide a glimpse of
the saltwater world, if but only a brief and limited one...

...in the days prior to our trip, in all of the online world I was only able
to find one likeminded angler who had fished the exact area we were going to
be visiting, a chap by the name of Mark Fowler from the UK. Mark's
descriptions of encounters with bones, barracudas and even tarpon provided
such excitement and hope that I can actually say I was losing sleep prior to
the trip...
