Anyone here ever flyfished Mauritius? Looks like I'm going for a week
over
Easter Vacation, and from the Lonely Planet site, there are a lot of
streams
on the island as well as some deep sea fishing. I'll definately bring
my
9ft
6/7wt for SWFF, but am wondering if its worth bringing the 4 wt for
the
inland streams.


Used to be you'd want to take a short wooden club for huntin dodo
birds, but I understand the action's gotten a little slow lately.

Funny, we used ta club 'em by the thousands......wonder where they all
went.



Was that Mauritius? For some reason, I thought it was on some other island
nearer to Madagascar. Saw a special on TV last week that told how the Dutch
didn't club them all to death, as they weren't very good eating, but instead
the pigs they brought to the island for food regularly escaped and generated
a feral pig population that decimated the Dodo eggs, and killed them off in
pretty much one generation.

(But what does this have to do with SWFF and FWFF on the island?)
