Cole-

My boss David Leake at Tailwaters Fly Fishing in Dallas has been to the Seychelles many times. In fact, David along with Brent Boone (my other boss at the shop) are leaving on Thursday for the Seychelles. They will fly into Dubai, and then hop a flight to the Seychelles airport. Here is a pre-trip post on our blog about Alphonse Island: http://somethinsfishy.wordpress.com/2009/03/16/seychelles-pre-trip-mayhem/

I guess a part of me will be in the Seychelles…I let him borrow both of my lens’ for the trip, so they will lose their virginity to the Seychelles! When they return I will post up a huge photo essay here and our blog.

I applied for a guiding position at Alphonse last April and will do the same this month. Hopefully I can get over there in October for 9 months of guiding! Here are some photos of David from his past trips….

If you want some more reading material, here is David’s general info on the Seychelles: http://tailwatersflyfishing.com/destination.asp?id=16

Hope that helps!
