In our latest YouTube video, Alex Jardine gives us a breakdown of the incredible fishing at Jardines de la Reina, a pristine chain of islands that run more than one hundred miles along Cuba’s south-eastern coast.
This vast marine park, bigger in size than the Florida Keys, is ideal for fly anglers who wish to live and experience fishing from dawn till dusk aboard a series of purpose built liveaboard vessels. The area is home to fantastic numbers of bonefish, permit of all sizes, resident and migratory tarpon, and many more species.
