FLY FISHING CUBA (part 2)

After months of reading, dreaming, getting together the gear, a quick plane trip, 5 hours of bus and 4 hours of boat transit, me and my buds arrived at the Tortuga in the Queen?s Gardens off the South coast of Cuba.

The Tortuga is permanently moored in a cove in the middle of the archipelago. From there, Avalon uses skiffs to get around. We had 2 skiffs and Guides for the three of us. There were also 2 other anglers that week, each in a single skiff.

Great story, and WOW…GOOD JOB on all those bonefish!
Cuba seems to be the fly-anglers paradise for a number of saltwater species. I wonder when/if the Embargo will be lifted, to allow US folks who aren’t journalists to go?
