A week and a bit before the first guests arrive.

The team is back at Dhala & Samaki, putting camp together piece by piece and getting everything ready for another season on the Mnyera and Ruhudji.

Beds made. Lights going up. Camp taking shape.

Next week, the boats go back on the river.

The fishing season hasn’t started just yet, but Sette Cama has still been busy.

Our eco guests have been exploring this stretch of coast with the guides, including nights spent sleeping out where the forest meets the Atlantic.

The fishing season at Sette Cama hasn’t officially started yet, but a few of our eco guests have managed to sneak in a session or two on the lagoon.

Wayne was fishing a fly while the rest of the boat worked micro-jigs.

Tight to the bank. Rocky points. Moving water. Black-casqued Hornbills flapping through the trees ahead.

He’d lengthened his leader to get a heavy baitfish pattern down on the intermediate line, fishing it with short, abrupt strips and plenty of time between them.

When he went tight, we initially called it for a smaller snapper.

A minute or two later, nobody was quite so sure.

A very good brown snapper, before the season has even properly begun.

You can't control everything on the water. The things you can, you get right.

From arrival and throughout the week, the guides are on hand to help rig tackle, check leaders, change hooks and make sure everything is ready before each session.

The fish, weather and tides will do what they do. The tackle shouldn't be the reason an opportunity is lost.

A lot happened before the cast.

Reading the structure, controlling the drift and getting the raft into the right position was often the difference between a good shot and no shot at all.

For a few days, home moved with the river.

Each camp was set somewhere further downstream, with everything we needed travelling with us along the way.

Nile crocodiles were never far away on the Mnyera.

This one had been lying quietly on the bank before slipping back into the river as we passed.

A fairly regular reminder that we weren't the only ones using the water.

Sometimes good fish handling is simply about doing less.

Keeping a fish in the water while preparing for a quick photograph reduces unnecessary handling and keeps time out of the water to a minimum.

A largemouth yellowfish, right where it should be.
