On this episode of The Barbless Fly Fishing Podcast we sit down with Christiaan Pretorius, to say he's an avid angler doesn't quite do it justice. At his age he has wrestled with more species on a fly rod than most folks can count. His passion for the outdoors is second to none and while his fly fishing pedigree is long and accomplished, he'd be the last one to brag about it. Fishing, hunting, photography and conservation run deep in this man's blood. We were excited to pick his brain about all of his adventures, favorite tactics, and species to chase on the fly. If you dream of chasing fish on flats, running down monster roosterfish on the beach, tramping through the jungle to find golden dorado in clear water, this is the episode for you.
