Trevally are hunters and spend most of their day looking for food. They enjoy the freedom of the open flats on high tides, channels during mid tides when the water is rising or ebbing, drop-offs and reef edges on the low tides and first movement of the push. Your guide will asses the tide and provide you with the best opportunity to target these fish. If you make the decision to fish for trevally then pick up your 12 weight, put all other rods away and focus on just trevally. They are extremely fast and require an angler to be on top form, swapping rods will only leave you flustered as you watch your target swimming out of range.

The fly can never be moving too fast for Trevally. Once again we apply the rules of nature. Baitfish and fleeing prey don’t move in short bursts or stop to see how close the fish is behind them so your fly needs to act appropriately. Make as long a strip as you can as quickly as possible.

The line strike  has never been more important than with Trevally. A general rule of thumb is to keep stripping even after the fish has taken the fly. Once you feel the  line burning through your stripping finger on its way out, you know he’s hooked and you can control the line onto the reel. Once on the reel, lean into the fish with a low rod angle, tighten up your drag and listen to your guide. You may have to use the boat and in the interest of conservation and landing these fish quickly, this is recommended.
