FARQUHAR ATOLL FLY FISHING REPORT (28 FEB – 06 MAR 2024)
FARQUHAR ATOLL FLY FISHING REPORT | 28 FEB – 06 MAR 2024
Four eager anglers from America and Russia arrived on Farquhar this week with high hopes. Their eyes were keenly set on GTs.
The first few days of fishing proved difficult as conditions were almost too good. Low wind conditions made for difficult GT fly fishing despite the fact that we had some good sightings. However, bonefish and other reef-dwelling species were caught in between the attempts made at GTs.
On day three, Roman decided to try his hand at bumphead parrotfish that Farquhar is famous for, and he managed to tick this unique and sizeable specimen off his bucket list. He also brought a trophy bonefish of over 60 cm to hand. All in all, he had an eventful day!
The GTs started to make their appearances more aggressively later in the week, and Lance managed to land the first one on day four.
David was not one to shy away from catching a hungry GT and soon followed with his own one on day five. On the same day, several large fish were lost around the Atoll, but it only fuelled the fire in the hopes of a chance of grabbing that coveted GT on their last day.
The final day of fishing brought their hopes into reality. Lance managed to land himself another GT to add to his growing list. Coco, finally, after a few days trying on Alphonse, joined us on Farquhar, where she caught her first-ever GT with only a few hours left to spare on her fishing adventure. The man of the hour was undoubtedly Roman, who had not landed a GT the whole week either. However, on the last day, he managed to land not one but three GTs, proving just how unpredictable GT fishing can be and how perseverance prevails.
This was an exciting week filled with anticipation and, ultimately, success. Thank you to all the anglers who joined us.
