ALPHONSE ISLAND FLY FISHING REPORT (13 JUL – 20 JUL 2024)
ALPHONSE ISLAND FLY FISHING REPORT | 13 JUL – 20 JUL 2024
The middle weeks of July were full of exceptional captures with two phenomenal GTs, a stunning permit, and an impressive number of bonefish.
The Brown family enjoyed some fantastic fishing on St. Francois Atoll, with both William and William Junior landing twenty-plus bonefish in half a day before enjoying Flats Lunch.
After lunch, David, Quin, and Randy jumped on board to try their hand at a little saltwater fly fishing. The ghosts of the flats were scarce for the first hour of the pushing tide but moved onto the flats as soon as the water was shin deep, giving our anglers some exceptional sport.
The Patterson family joined the Alphonse Island Team for three days of fishing. On the first day, Coly landed her first ever bonefish, then proceeded to land six more. Michael had an incredible couple of days on the water, landing 104 cm GT on his second day and a 50 cm permit on his last. Bill also enjoyed some of the exceptional bone fishing that St Francois has to offer.
The week’s most surprising catch was from William Brown, who landed a 104 cm GT while fishing for bonefish in front of the Beach Bar on Alphonse. The most notable aspect of this catch was the fact that the fish was taken on a nine-weight rod with a 12lb leader and a £4 pillow talk. One never knows what surprises await in the salt.
With permit season now in full swing, we look forward to seeing what exciting catches the next couple of months have in store.
Thank you all for a fantastic week! We hope you had a wonderful time and look forward to welcoming you back soon!
