Catching a giant trevally (or 'GT') on a fly rod is the pinnacle of flats fishing: highly challenging, requiring skill, preparation and courage. 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. • How to catch them • Tackle and equipment • Which flies to use • Winning tactics • Best destinations including: Seychelles, Maldives, Mauritius, Australia, South Africa, Oman, Mozambique, Sudan and many more.
"This comprehensive and very usable guide contains pretty much all the information an angler intent on catching these most intimidating of fish could want. I cannot recommend this book enough. A note of caution though: GT fishing is profoundly addictive (believe me I know). So if you buy this book, which I highly recommend you do, you are very likely to develop a lifetime habit!"

"This guide includes all the tricks necessary to understand and outwit these apex predators. GT is a brilliant guide. The author is highly respected around the fishing world. His passion for the sport is contagious. GT is a must-read for all saltwater fly-fishing enthusiasts. I only wish I had read this book before first travelling halfway around the world pitifully unprepared for the challenge."
