FlyLife | 118 Autumn 2025
In this issue, we embrace new beginnings, as the journey of learning to fly fish unfolds with fresh enthusiasm, and for those looking to sharpen their skills, it’s never too late to go back to school. Across the Tasman, Lake Otamangakau in New Zealand offers a canvas for a masterclass in stillwater tactics. Arthurs Lake proves that even windy days can be productive, and sight-fishing for carp challenges perceptions of this controversial species.
On the saltwater front, striped bass on Maine’s cool-water flats deliver explosive action, while the wilderness of Alaska sets the stage for a remote rafting and fishing adventure. A deep dive into the world of fly fishing without sight offers a fresh perspective. Meanwhile, Malaysia’s fly fishing diversity is nothing short of magical, offering a mix of freshwater and jungle species in tropical surroundings.
