ALPHONSE ISLAND FLY FISHING REPORT (06 JUL – 13 JUL 2024)
ALPHONSE ISLAND FLY FISHING REPORT | 06 JUL – 13 JUL 2024
Return clients Alan Oliver and Stuart Bird joined us out on the flats of St Francois Atoll for the Explorer Season once again. We had some unsettled weather throughout the week, but the anglers made the most of it and came away with some fantastic catches.
Stuart was joined by his son Mark, who was fresh out of the blocks as far as saltwater flats fishing goes. They both ticked some fantastic boxes during the week, with Stuart landing a wonderful 85 cm GT, a moustache triggerfish and a handful of bones. Mark, who was desperately trying to catch his first GT, eventually put the pieces together, bringing in an 85 cm GT on the white sand at East Knoll. He also managed to land a beautiful yellowmargin trigger and a bonefish on the same day for a Flats Slam. Congratulations Mark!
Alan Olivier waited until almost the very end when he landed an incredible Grand Slam on the second-to-last day. This impressive win consisted of a stunning Indo-Pacific permit, a big yellowmargin triggerfish, and an 88 cm GT. It was a very memorable day on the water; congrats, Alan! He also managed to add another GT to the week’s tally on the final day, bringing the total to four between three anglers.
This week, our anglers showed incredible perseverance and positivity, which definitely paid off. Thank you for joining us, gentlemen! Until next time.
