World records are here to be broken .
It is only in the last three years that Salt water fly fishing has become popular in New Zealand. In that time there have been many world records set. Here in Tolaga Bay we have been catching mainly yellowtail kingfish this is mostly sight fishing and the ferocity of a yellowtail strike on a fly has to be seen to be believed, the power and speed with which they dive to the depths with their prize tests the best of anglers and destroys inferior gear. If you intend to fish for yellowtail with fly gear be prepared for the fight of a lifetime and bring only the best tackle. A 9 or 10 weight salt-water fly rod would be minimum with a quality SWF reel which will hold 300m backing and has a good drag .
