Fly Fishing on Falkland Islands

As a fly fisher, your radius of movement will most certainly be limited to West and East Falkland. This will make you somewhat of an "exotic creature“. For most tourists the major point of attraction is the area around the approx. 200 close by islands, where – not unlike Galapagos – a nearly untamed wildlife has been preserved. Should you ever feel like laying your rod aside for a while, be sure to plan additional time to visit one of these unique places.It is only on these small islands that fauna and flora have been able to survive the way they have been since prehistoric times. For example, you can find the unique Tussock grass no where else but here. It grows in high bushes, essential for the protection of ground-breeding animals. However, it is not the biodiversity which characterizes this habitat, but the sheer mass of colonies. Proportionally there are more animal populations here than anywhere else in the world.
