ALPHONSE ISALND FLY FISHING REPORT (03 – 10 FEB 2024)
ALPHONSE ISLAND FLY FISHING REPORT | 03 – 10 FEB 2024
This week of the season brought a mixture of weather conditions. Many days featured some sunshine, but squalls would build at times, bringing wind and rain. Despite the weather challenges, our guests displayed total commitment and still managed to catch memorable fish.
The ghosts of the flats were targeted during the dropping tide when they stacked up and moved toward deeper water. Guests were pleasantly surprised not only by the number of fish but also by their size. Fish over 55 cm were frequently caught, and a number over the 60 cm mark was also added to the tally. The bones provided excitement and screaming reels, resulting in an epic week with nearly 250 bonefish landed.
GT fishing proved slightly more challenging, as many fish had locked jaws and were not easily fooled by the fly. Despite this, Conny, Dave H, David C, Ilya, Valerii, Vlad, and John Miller deserve congratulations for netting some of these impressive species. Most of the catches this week were spotted cruising on the back of stingrays. These fish are often jet black when sitting on the ray and can be spotted from some distance away. Nothing beats the excitement of seeing one of these fish charge off the ray and smash the fly right in front of the boat. We hope you all had an awesome time targeting these ferocious fish.
A special mention goes to angler Philip Friesen, who achieved the rare feat of catching both a Yellow margin and a moustache triggerfish on the same day! Congratulations on your spectacular day of trigger-fishing, Philip!
We look forward to next week and the adventure it holds. Stay tuned for our following report!
