FARQUHAR ATOLL FLY FISHING REPORT (31 JAN – 07 FEB 2024)
FARQUHAR ATOLL FLY FISHING REPORT | 31 JAN – 07 FEB 2024
10 slightly nervous anglers arrived on Farquhar for the first fishing week of 2024. A storm system was holding in the area, with rain and winds hitting the Atoll. Fishing during the first two days was limited to walking in the lee of the islands with little shield from the weather. Yet, the weather could not dampen the spirits of these tenacious anglers, who were determined to make the most of their trip.
During this time, Justin landed a moustache triggerfish while Mike got himself a GT to start the fishing trip off.
As the week progressed, the weather started to show signs of improvement, and the skiffs were able to venture out on the Atoll. The air was thick with anticipation, and the fishing did not disappoint! Six GTs were landed, and Mike caught his first-ever bumphead parrotfish, adding to the excitement of the trip.
The following day saw a number of GTs land, with Bobbie catching the biggest of the day at 101 cms. Justin did not walk away empty-handed either; he caught himself a yellowmargin triggerfish.
The next day featured another eight GTs coming to hand, with Terry landing a fish close to a meter! Justin continued his winning triggerfish streak and caught a trophy 56 cm yellowmargin that was tailing on the turtle grass flats.
The highlight of day six was a busy day too, with several GTs caught by the group. Matt managed to get himself a yellowmargin triggerfish. The highlight of the day was Chris’s 58 cm yermit caught in the gaps on the white sand.
Despite the weather conditions, the group’s spirits remained high. The lodge turned into a festive hub of laughter and shared tales. The camaraderie was a testament to the unforgettable experience they shared on this trip.
