I'm a fly-fishing mycologist from the Netherlands and at the end of this
year I'm going for a holiday to La Palma, from the 29th of December to
the 5th of January. I intend to fish there along the coast (Los Cancajos). The only problem is, I don't have any experience with sea or coastal fly-fishing. My idea is: a #8 fast fly rod with a reel with an excellent drag, furthermore an intermediate and a fast-sinking line. This is just an idea but I don't know where to fish (at beaches or more remote parts?), how to fish (what tide or the technique) or which fly? Maybe someone has some experience with fly-fishing at La Palma or at sea coasts at the Canary Islands?
Kind Regards from Holland, Richard
