ASTOVE ATOLL FLY FISHING REPORT | 17 FEB – 24 FEB 2025
This week, we had the pleasure of hosting the lovely McKellar family on Astove, where they enjoyed a perfect blend of diving and fishing throughout their stay. While Mrs. McKellar spent her time exploring the calm and vibrant waters off the Astove wall, she encountered an impressive array of marine life, including permit, dogtooth tuna, giant trevally, and bumphead parrotfish. On the other hand, Mr. McKellar was out on the flats for a week of exciting saltwater fly fishing.
During his time fishing, Mr. McKellar was able to land a total of 72 bonefish, with the largest measuring an impressive 62 cm. He also succeeded in catching two permit, with the largest reaching 33 cm. Throughout his fishing adventures, he was accompanied by head guide Enrico Aerts, who offered expert guidance to help him make the most of the conditions.
It was truly a pleasure to have the McKellar family with us this week, and we are grateful for the wonderful moments shared. Thank you to the McKeller family for an unforgettable week on Astove, and we hope to welcome you back again soon for more diving and fishing adventures.
