The Tench (Tinca tinca): A Hidden Gem for Anglers
Where to Find Tench Worldwide
This interactive map highlights global Tench sightings, revealing the continents, countries, and prime waters where this elusive species thrives. Known for its carp-like habitat and behavior, the Tench offers a thrilling challenge for fly fishers pursuing diverse freshwater targets.
Atlantic Salmon: The Ocean’s Powerhouse
Where to Find These Iconic Fish
This map highlights global Atlantic salmon sightings, revealing their presence across continents, rivers, and coastal waters. Hook a 30-pounder, and you’ll quickly realize fly fishing is anything but gentle—these fish redefine strength and tenacity.
Had Shakespeare been an angler, Atlantic salmon would have starred in an epic tragedy. Born in freshwater, they migrate to the ocean, only to battle currents, predators, and man-made threats on their return to spawn. Today, illegal fishing and aquaculture pollution add peril to their journey—making every catch a race against time.
Targeting these giants means starting at 25 pounds—their marine diet of crabs and fish fuels explosive growth, yet they mysteriously strike flies despite fasting during their upstream odyssey. While prime rivers command premium access, affordable opportunities still exist for those willing to explore.
