The Red Ghost Information

THE RED GHOST PROJECT is a result of an idea among a group of friends who passionately love fly fishing, and after having chased all types of fish all around the world, our love for the Red Ghost finally outdid all others, especially because of the incredible resistance and the incredible fights we encounter when catching them and nor forgetting the fly-fishing modality. The key point in the success of our project is basically due to the extraordinary characteristics of The Red Ghost ‘barbus barbus’ that these offers making it possible to practice fly fishing. These marvelous and combative European fish are enormously famous among the local fishermen, possibly along with Salmon; this is the strongest and most combative of all the species that can be found in fresh waters. The extraordinary similarity with the Bonefish is not only in it’s morphology, but they are also similar when it comes to resistance they offer from the other side of the fishing line. Depending on the conditions of the surroundings, the barbels are authentically machines when it comes to feeding on the surface.  

This type of fishing is carried out as we move from one point of the banks and lower points to another in search of our target fish, which normally move in huge groups and in most cases their tails always emerge from the water. The polarized glasses are fundamental. Once we spot a group of fish, the next step is to place the fly right on top of their heads, with (our best) precision. The reaction you will see next can not be described with words, they will slowly take the fly and then follows a huge explosion inside the water, followed by a very quick race, something no one can stop. The location of the fish is fundamental, very simple to carry out in a destination like ours, given that the population is infinite. In September, October and even November, there is a huge number of ants make their appearance, and these can abruptly convert a fishing day into an extraordinary fishing event, something you will never forget.

why red Ghost?

At times and depending on the visibility, you will only spot a red stain in the water, and as such the fisherman should imagine the presence of the fish there, that is why we call this type of fish and our project as THE RED GHOST.  

In the beginning

Several years ago, and after a long struggle and lots of effort, our team discovered the greatest paradise ever known where it is possible to fish barbels using the DRY fly fishing technique. During the trial period, one of our team mates captured 76 barbels in one day, and that is just about 400 pounds in total. At times we’ve had to cut our tired hooks as a result of the resistance the barbels can have. We take advantage of this magical moment, lifting the barbels up and down as they try to catch our flies.
