After 27 years, my brother and I returned to Saudi Arabia in february 2020, just shortly before the world sunk into Corona-chaos... We had long dreamed of fishing the Red Sea after so many years, and hoped that it would still be as wonderful as we remembered it from our childhood.

This video means so much to me! I am a mixed Saudi/American. My father is from Jeddah and my mother Colorado. I grew up in Jeddah and spent the last 12 years of my life in Colorado. In Colorado of course I fell in love with fly fishing for Trout in our wonderful rivers, and tie many of my favourite patterns at home. I have reached the point where even a full bathtub of water gets me thinking about fishing. Obviously there are fish everywhere there is water. But it never occurred to me that I could take my passion for fly fishing to my childhood home! Thank you so much for posting this video!

Thank you so much for this comment, I really had to laugh about that bathtub... but I completely understand what you mean, I am just as crazy! Colorado surely must be a flyfisher's heaven, but you should definately check out saltwater fly fishing! The strength of saltwater fish is insane, and fishing in boardshorts is not that bad ;-)

That was really satisfying to watch! I too grew up in the Middle East as an expat child in (another GCC state however) and I had the time of my life growing up there. I therefore understand what you must have felt being back in the Arab world again. I just got back from a weeks' fishing in the Kingdom and lived a somewhat similar experience. I feel like I recognize one of the spots you fished, not going to drop any names though. All I can say is you guys are crazy for using tackling those fish on the fly as they are just so powerful that even with heavy spinning gear they can reef you in the blink of an eye! What a great video that was to watch I wish there was more content!! I have videos in the making and I'd have volumes more if I had landed all the fish I hooked ;)

Many thanks for that long comment, and i am glad to hear that you have good memories from your time in the Middle East aswell. Sounds like you had a great time there recently. As soon as the world is somewhat back to normal, i hope to go there again. If you enjoyed this video, you might want to check out some of my other vids, there is one from Oman which you might like.

@@troutfishinggermany9186 Hey again, you're more than welcome! The borders are actually open at the moment and as long as you can get a personal visa (not a tourist visa) entering the country is fully authorized. I will definitely be checking out your Oman video, been there several times myself just never with fishing gear. From what I've seen so far the fishkng is just nuts there too 🔥🔥😉🤙

Great video, many thanks for sharing. I'm heading out to Saudi next week and will be near Hanak on the Red Sea coast. Having looked on Google Earth there are a lots of fairly remote and good looking fishing spots. Any advice for avoiding problems with the coast guard? Are the areas where you are not allowed to enter the water well sign posted? The 10wt is packed and itching to go!

Were you surprised after 27 years ? The culture and building ?

@troutfishinggermany9186 2 жыл бұрын

Yes! A lot has changed, the cities much bigger, the buildings higher. But the people are still the same, very friendly, very welcoming! The Arabian hospitality is famous for a reason! Very surprising was the fact that you nowadays see couples holding hands in public. Still in a very respectful way, but 27 years obviously is a long time… and the world has not stood still.

Do you have boots that allow you to walk on coral without killing it?

@troutfishinggermany9186 3 жыл бұрын

No, walking on coral is always bad for the reef, i dont think shoes exist that wont harm those fragile creations of nature. We were very aware not to do any damage and paid a lot of attention not to step on live coral but only on sand and the brown „rock“ in between corals.

Tolle Fische und schönes Video! Fliege in ein paar Wochen für mehrere Monate nach Saudi Arabien. Habt ihr Erfahrungen wie es mit dem Kaufen von guten Equipment zum Spinnfischen vor Ort ist? Rute, Rollen Schnüre?

@troutfishinggermany9186 3 жыл бұрын

Wow da bin ich ein wenig neidisch! In den Häfen der großen Städte, zB in Jeddah, gibt es hervorragende Angelläden. Auch am persischen Golf, in den Emiraten und dem Oman sind sie sehr gut ausgestattet. Die ganz teuren Sachen wie Zenaq Ruten oder Carpenter Lures hab ich dort jedoch nicht gesehen. Aber das ist sowieso Schnickschnack. Ein paar Rapala Xraps sind alles was man dort braucht.

@@troutfishinggermany9186 Super! Danke für die Info!! Meine Baits nehme ich eh mit aber Rute und den Rest würde ich gerne dort kaufen. Empfehlungen für geflochtene? 0,25 sollte passen oder? Bin die ersten Wochen in Tabuk, von dort möchte ich an off days auf jeden Fall zur Küste fahren um fischen gehen nachdem ich hier in KZfaq unter anderem durch euch komplett angezündet worden bin^^ Ab Oktober gehts dann zu weit weg von Meer. Ich meld mich dann mal wenn ich Erfolg hatte :)

@troutfishinggermany9186 3 жыл бұрын

@@danielsattler2921 sorry für die verspätete Antwort. Eine 0,25er wird von der Tragkraft her meistens reichen, das Problem sind eher Korallen und Fische, die sich darin flüchten wollen. Wenn ich ausnahmsweise mal mit der Spinnrute fische, nehme ich gerne eine 0,35er Daiwa Multicolor. Die hält alles. Ob es in Tabuk einen guten Angelladen gibt weiss ich nicht, ich kenne Tabuk nur vom durchfahren. Im Zweifel vielleicht doch lieber was von zu Hause mitnehmen, von Daiwa gibt es hervorragende Reiseruten die in jeden Koffer passen.

Hey kleines Update von mir. Mein Saudi Aufenthalt geht nächste Woche zu Ende. Ich habe es seit August ca fünf bis sechs Mal an die Küste geschafft. Was ein Angelrevier!!! Von GT's über verschiedene Riffbarsche bis Bonito und Kingfish alles dabei. Einen wunderschönen Mahi Mahi konnte ich landen. Mit Sepias und Tintenfischen per Stickbait gespielt. Ich habe sowas noch nicht erlebt Angeltechnisch! Ich komme wieder hier her . Und bevor ich Abreise werde ich nochmal drei, vier Tage das Riff ablaufen.

Tides are not really worth talking about in the Red Sea, the water fluctuates hardly a foot or two. February can be windy, and sometimes even a little rain, but since the ocean is wet anyway, whi cares about rain while you are fishing 😂

There are plenty of good hotels, in various price ranges up to first class accomodation with all inclusive. You cant really go wrong, Saudi Arabia has a very good standard. We chose Ibis, which is among the cheaper ones.
