Fly fishing is great outdoors activity in Tahiti and her Islands Crytall clear lagoon water, but also a hobby, which consists of catching a fish with a lure called a “fishing fly” which, in most cases, represents either an insect or its larva.
Popularized in the early 1990s by the successful film and in the middle flows a river of Robert Redford with Brad Pitt, it is a sporting practice - in river, lake or sea - at the end of which the fish is released.

The Tahitians have a way of hunting MahiMahi that’s unique in all the world.
Considering that Mahimahi are probably one of the most widely distributed fish in our planet oceans, that’s saying a lot!
The design of the ‘Poti Marara’ boats allow the Tahitians to fish this way “chariot style” with an harpoon.
This unique fishing/hunting technic is sporty and generally practiced aboard poti marara, fast and racy boats or bonitiers (both kinds of boats soly available in Tahiti and her Islands).
It is only at the end of a frantic chase that the tired fishs will give up their weapons.
