Conservation and Protection of Fisheries


Fly Odyssey is determined to protect the fisheries that are experienced by anglers undertaking a Fly Odyssey trip. Fisheries throughout the world face pressures of habitat degradation, overfishing and environmental change and it is our belief that protection must come from those that utilise and appreciate these precious resources.

Supporting fisheries research

Fly-fishermen worldwide have been the custodians of the waterways that they fish and we wish to extend this to instigate habitat improvement, fisheries research and conservation measures to ensure the destinations we promote are sustained into the future.

Collaboration with conservation organisations

Fly Odyssey is collaborating with various conservation organisations in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific and will contribute to their goals and develop restoration and research projects helping to protect the environment and fisheries found in this part of the world.

Conservation Partners

Te Mana O Te Moana

The Te Mana O Te Moana non-profit association was founded on 23 September 2004.
Through its research, conservation, communication and educational activities, Te Mana O Te Moana strives to protect the marine environment of French Polynesia and to educate the public. Fly Odyssey is currently in the process of developing a bonefish research program with Te Mana O Te Moana to help gain valuable information on bonefish in French Polynesia.

Taiman Sanctuary

Taimen (Hucho hucho taimen) are the world’s largest salmonid. In Mongolia, these top-tier predators will live for more than fifty years and reach lengths of over sixty inches. They once inhabited healthy rivers from Europe to Hokkaido, but taimen became isolated and rare as over-harvest and river degradation slowly devastated populations. The remote waters we fish became one of the species’ few remaining strongholds.

Because of the efforts of many concerned persons and organizations, these waters remain some of Mongolia’s healthiest and most productive. The fishing for taimen, lenok, and trout is spectacularly good with very little angling pressure. The Taimen Sanctuary has become a global conservation model, showing that limited fly-fishing by just a few responsible international anglers can trigger improved fishery management.
