Hi Guys, just back from another great trip to Rarotonga, it realy is a fantastic place, lots of fish and other sea life for playing with, snorkeling, fishing etc.
I went out with a local skipper and managed the fish of the day, trolling not fly fishing

Plus had couple of walks around the area next our hotel with a fly rod and managed to catch many fish, Bluefin trevally, Hexagon Grouper, Cornet fish, Wrasse, Piccasso fish and many others that I do not know what they are called!
Here are a couple:

All in all a great vacation, good weather, friendly locals, too much beer and lots of swimming and snorkeling, including seeing Turtles and stingrays, it does not get much better than that!
All the best.

The forums are very quiet
The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF form is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.
