ALPHONSE ISLAND FLY FISHING REPORT (24 AUG – 31 AUG 2024)
ALPHONSE ISLAND FLY FISHING REPORT | 24 AUG – 31 AUG 2024
The Karan family joined us as our only fishing guests for the final week of August 2024. Avron has visited our flats a number of times and was eager to get his seven and nine year old boys onto some flats species and the boys rose to the challenge!
On day one young angler, Symon, had an unbelievable start to his saltwater fly fishing career. He caught himself his first ever bonefish followed by a few more and then he went a step further and caught himself to beautiful little giant trevally! Congratulations, Symon!
Younger brother Eli patiently waited for his day for his first bonefish. He absolutely smashed the snappers, groupers and bigeye trevally to get his eye in for the ghost of the flats. He also caught himself a beautiful batfish, both a rare and difficult fish to catch. When the weather offered a break later in the week, he landed a beaut of a bonefish at point Tamatave on Alphonse. Congratulations, Eli!
The next day both Symon and Eli showed off the skills that they had built up over the week. Catching over 20 bonefish between the two of them as well as a number of bigeye trevally. Well done on your awesome week of fishing boys, we look forward to having you back here in the not too distant future.
Avron was very much content with his boys having success on the flats, but as you would expect he was super keen to get into some serious fish himself. On his last day of the week he headed to East Knoll to try and tempt some of the big GT’s that frequent the sandy high spot once the tide had pushed right up. Avron fished brilliantly and caught himself two belter GT’s measuring 92 cm and 98 cm. Congratulations on your last day success, Avron!
A huge thank you to the Karan family for joining us. We hope to see you back soon!
