5 Reasons Milkfish are the Hardest Fish to Catch on the Fly

There are very few fish that we catch in the Seychelles that jump, however; we do see the Milkfish as the “Tarpon of the Seychelles”. Once hooked, you can get fish that would jump more the 6ft out of the water and up to 15 times. This is the ‘dreadful and stressful’ time of the fight, as they can easily wrap the line around their tail and snap you off. What is also truly incredible is the diversity of acrobatic style each fish has, some flip, some twist or some just launch themselves out of the water, making each jump a new experience for the angler.
