Since the 1920s Marlin have represented the ultimate in off shore angling. They are big, challenging to catch, smart and fast. Landing one with fly tackle is truly an achievement. 

 

In the old days, having your picture taken alongside a Marlin that is twice your size, was considered the ultimate trophy you could hang on the wall of your office. Though in most fly fishing destinations you are encouraged to catch and release, should you keep one you will enjoy that they make a wonderful meal.
