  Catching a giant trevally (or 'GT') on a fly rod is the pinnacle of flats fishing: highly challenging, requiring skill, preparation and courage. This is the first comprehensive guide to giant trevally fishing on the fly.
  The giant trevally is an apex predator, and the way it operates is nothing less than brutal.

The flyfisher's first encounter with a giant trevally will be an electrifying experience. A GT can destroy tackle and ego, leaving all in its wake.
