From Iceland to the Seychelles: Adventure Awaits with Jacita Travel-Ready Fishing Gear

Jacita – Get Expert Fishing Gear for Global Anglers

As South Africa’s winter sets in with its usual angling limitations, many local anglers turn their focus north. When the water cools, and the bite slows down, it’s time to think tropical. Or glacial. Either way, adventure awaits.

We spoke to Cameron Musgrave, an East London-based fishing guide and member of the Alphonse Fishing Company team. He splits his guiding seasons between two of the world’s most iconic destinations: the warm flats of the Seychelles and the icy rivers of Iceland, chasing everything from giant trevally to Atlantic salmon.

Seychelles: The Adrenaline

“Angling – to anyone who’s spent a number of years doing it – varies from bone-numbing, eye-glazing boredom to adrenaline-pumping exhilaration.” Cameron Musgrave knows both extremes well. He shared his most memorable GT experience with us:

“It was Christmas Island. The fish exploded on the popper just metres from the angler’s feet. The cast was perfect. The following was electric. The hit was insane. That fish lit up the flat like nothing I’ve ever seen.”

Fishing with Cameron and the team at Alphonse Fishing Company offers the best chance to experience this kind of moment. With decades of collective experience, they guide anglers into GTs, bonefish, triggerfish and milkfish across the most remote and productive flats in the Seychelles.

Iceland: The Precision

At the opposite end of the world, and the thermometer, is Cameron’s second favourite fishery.

“Iceland. Atlantic Salmon. Sea-run trout. It’s the complete opposite of the Seychelles but just as powerful in its own way,” says Cameron. “The pull of a fresh salmon in Iceland is subtle, but once it runs, you know it’s real. It’s strength with elegance.”

Iceland offers technical fly fishing in crystal-clear rivers surrounded by dramatic scenery. It is a total change of pace, but every bit as rewarding.
