In the middle of the Indian Ocean, I stood on the hard coral fingers and extended to the milky white lagoon.In terms of high heat, there are frigates with long corner -wing wheels.When the sound was interrupted, I stared at the sky: "Low your head -hamas!"

This is the pilgrimage of the flying fishing of Sehechelles Alphonse and the Stran?ois reef.The Holy Grail is huge.The more secular name of the fish is "Geets".The barbaric predator, the local guide calls them "the gangster of the apartment".They like to wander with the rays.

My guide is the veteran.Yousuf arrived here in 2004 from Bangladesh to help build a hotel on Alphonse Island.He was promoted to gardener, promoted to Bamman, and eventually graduated from the fishing guide.Now, he is a superstar of his environment, and he is booked by secular fishermen who came here a year in advance.His shaver’s eyes are legendary, and so is his patience.Since 7 am, he has been on our shallow pants, hoping this opportunity.　

Through glare, I think I saw the seductive tremor at the tip of the stakfish moved in the shallow water, stirring the sea view of crabs, prawns and small reef fish.Next to the rays is a large sickle fin, hovering in the escape fish.Geets has been moving, and once they find them, time disappears.The monsoon season has begun, and the wind has begun, making it almost impossible for accurate casting.The calories are ruthless."It’s not too short, don’t be too close, land gently …" These suggestions run through my mind like a hypnotic track.I started an actor in the direction of the rays and its enthusiastic dinner.

The San Fransowa Ring Reef is the southernmost tip of the three islands of Alphonse Group.Their name is to commemorate the birthday of Chevalier Alphonse de Pontevez.The Huteau’s family settled there.A turtle fisheries were established and the local plant group was cleaned up to make a way for coconut plantation.The residues of this era still exist: prison cells, a cemetery, recorded those who have never left the island, and an ecosystem contaminated by commercial coconut trees and the invasive species of rats and wild cats.

In the late 1990s, a group of risky fly fishermen encountered a large amount of bone fish swimming in the shallow water of these shells.Their scales are as bright as mirrors, and they are known as the ghost of the apartment, disappearing from the sight when the reflection environment.One of these early pioneers was Keith Rose-innes.At that time, he was a young South African, and he had desire for adventure.Today, he is the managing director of Blue Safari Sehechelles, which manages the operation of Alphonse and other minority reef operations.He told me: "Bone fish is the cornerstone species." "With such a rich population, we think that guests will come to such a distant place."　

This is the beginning.The enthusiasm for fishing for foreign countries has transformed into a enthusiasm for restoring these reefs because it retreats to the trend of exploitation in the previous centuries.This is not the basic ecological preservation of plastic straws that can be replaced and re -filled: Alphonse Drive’s world -leading research team, and browse in the turbid waters of the government.They successfully won meaningful protection for one of the craziest places on the planet.　

Their alert is moving.As the night fell and the lights outside the cabin opened, the bulbs were shiny and green.This is enough, but it is important that it is not confusing to thousands of nest turtles (for them, the biggest threat is to mistake the light of human settlements as the reflection of the moon on the water on the water.-Is move forward inland and never achieve the ocean).

When you stroll to the sunset to the beach bar, the feeling of avoiding baby turtles and ALDABRA giant turtles is reassuring. Most of the night there are discussions on protection projects on the reefs at night.Blue Safari’s own team is closely cooperating with the island protection association, which is a local non -governmental organization based on Alphonse and surrounding islands.The company has conducted some extraordinary research and has a real impact on the government level at the level of critical results.Tonight’s speech was worked by Blue Safari’s ecology and sustainable development manager Elle Brighton, and the University of Massachusetts and the island Protection Association to decipher the movement of giant giants.The fish captured by the fishing fisherman is marked by a small micro -chip.There are 68 receivers in reefs, and each time there are marked fish swimming, they will be recorded.The scope of Trevally is relatively small and has become a master of hunting specific terrain.The survival rate of the captured fish is very high, but the re -capture rate is very low, which means that the population is higher than originally considered.For fishermen, this is encouraging news. They know that it is not the most environmentally friendly choice to know thousands of miles to Eco Lodge."But this is ironic," Brighton told us."It is because of the people who are going to Seychelles that the government has specified 30 % of the territory as the alphonse group and is a marine reserves. It is protected from other major income flow."

The focus of other negotiations is the colonies of the threatened wedge -shaped tail Sworm. The charming birds built nests in rabbit -shaped caves and are now growing on the island.Or coral status, this has been unstable worldwide, but in -depth research here.The size of corals of luxury cars that I caught earlier that day was only about one year, and it was about thousands of years.

The negotiations are the foods for thinking during dinner. Starting from Wahoo Sashimi, they were caught by expert chefs and planted vegetables in their gardens on the island.65 % of foods are planted or captured on the island, and a series of solar panels provide most of the energy sources used.This is not a virtue signal; this is just wisdom related to the rhythm of tropical islands.

The next day, I returned to the apartment with YouSuf without escape the sun.I missed my first chance-I did well, and the fish moved upstream with strong enthusiasm, but you must pull the line on the fast strip to imitate the escape bait fish, which is not completed for me.There are too many hands.Feeling deception, the fish rejected my dedication.Further, we encountered a beard trigger fish, and its tail waved from the water.Going down, its human teeth captured crabs to corals and then grinded it.This time I manipulated my flies accurately, and it was foolish.The brief quarrel stopped it from jumping from the edge of the reef, disappearing in the holes in the coral lining, and brought this weird creature, and it echoed all the colors of the reef.Nevertheless, the final award is still not returned.　

YOUSUF scan the horizon to obtain the signs of Sub-Aqua, and then speak: "Scroll-We will go to the universe." The Cosmic Lall is a area of Stfran?oisatoll.It saw the flooding ring of the land rolling into the coral and forming a reef.It is still covered by the local plant group and has a series of extraordinary bird life, and it still has no one to live.The tide passed into the disaster was flooded, and smaller bone fish and Mutt swarmed to these new breeding grounds.During the tide of spring, the water becomes deep enough to follow.YOUSUF slides engines and ships to stop.A group of Plover waving wings walk around the beach and find food with a beak.On the right side of my narrow sandwich, next to a native forest, there is a clumsy colony inside, and their rainbow beaks are shining in the evening sun.　

When YOUSUF slowly pushed the boat into the water, looking at and waiting, my forearm tied my forearm length."They like to search on this coastline." The shadow attracted my eyes, 50 yards in the distance.I am not sure whether it is a hovering bird, a seaweed or fish."Nine o’clock. The distance is a long way," You Sufu said, confirming my intuition."Casting on the shore, wait." The fish is now 30 yards.I am ready: There is no wrong room.There are 10 yards now; the water is very clear, and I can see the large round eyes of the fish to find the victim."Jumping!" Under the instructions, I pulled the line as fast as possible, and then flying the spring, looking like trying to escape.Trevally’s methodical cruise will change immediately.The fins were opened, and it accelerated. When I pulled the line for the second time, its mouth opened the incredible width, and each inch of the fly swallowed.It feels like I hang on the brick wall.Everything is tight.I have always insisted, but violated my wishes, and I torn off my hand on the line. The scroll is hoarse: the line of 50 yards has disappeared, 100,200.YOUSUF started the ship engine and we started chasing.　

Fighting with Geet is not a long -distance game.This is a irritable sprint, you will be tired.Over time, I approached the boat.YOUSUF is now standing in the water, grabbing its tail and turning it on the side, exposing a shiny silver.I jumped into the water.It’s my turn to hold the fish, look at its eyes and marvel at its power.YOUSUF passed backwards by the scanner.It has never been arrested before.He injected a small label, recorded its numbers, and recorded the exact time and GPS position on the watch.I stabilize the fish on the tide of passing in and let go.It is full of vitality and returns to the hunting grounds of these sacred reefs.
