Wesley Peens

Wesley Peens combines his incredible technical fishing ability with a strong conservation ethic to seek out and catch only the biggest and best species in the world of conventional angling.

Alistair Moores-Pitt

Craig Thomassen

Tommo is one of the pioneers of catch and release recreational angling and his passion for the sport of artificial lure is unrivaled. Over the last three decades Craig has chased down nearly every major game fish in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans around Africa, with some record breaking results. His first book 'Fishing Yourself Single' typifies how important time on the water is to his life and his commitment to sport fishing. Always willing to share, he takes every opportunity to showcase the behemoths that lurk below and impart much of his knowledge and experience on how to land trophy fish.

Craig is a true fishing encyclopedia, with a deep knowledge of every facet of the sport and the species he targets, all driven by his unwavering commitment to conservation.

Rhuan Human

Rhuan Human is always the first to put his hand up to try something new in the fly-fishing world. His drive to explore the facet and the fish he can target is matched only by his passion for conservation. Rhuan is an innovator in the African realm of fly fishing, always puzzling what makes a fish tick, where to find them and which pattern will get the reaction. He's a student of fly-fishing history and an advocate of inventing new ways to convert casts. He simply has no quit in him.

Gareth George

Gareth George has been a pioneer in the South African Fly-fishing arena for over two decades, producing multiple angling television shows and hosting major fishing events. Through his work, he has championed conservation, taking South African fly-fishing to screens across the globe.

Gareth’s obsession with exploring the waterways of Africa is the foundation of WildFly, and his enthusiasm for catching anything that swims on fly is the driving force behind these adventures. He makes every expedition an entertaining education in fly fishing and conservation.

Jeremy Rochester

Jeremy Rochester is a true South African stalwart in the Fly-fishing scene and one of South Africa’s finest fly-fishing guides. He has traveled across the globe in search of thrilling new angling adventures, with conservation always at the very center of his ethos. For Jerry, it only counts on fly.

Jerry’s experience on local waters is often the difference between unforgettable memories and a fruitless fishing story. While he takes every cast in his stride, he treats fly fishing with the reverence it deserves.

Brad Cartwright

The Cartwright destination scale is the barometer by which we should all measure our fishing trips. Having toured and fished through 5 continents, his experience on where to go, what species to target and when you should be throwing a line is legendary. Brad is a believer in selecting the right club for the right course and will willingly throw a live bait, lure or fly at his selected game fish and is equally at home in the big blue or on some remote river in the jungle. His preference is surface action, always trying to draw his quarry into the top water, where the action is explosive and his antics most animated.
