Home to the Bumphead Parrotfish
About The Destination
Home of the bumphead parrotfish and bird eating GTs, Farquhar Atoll is the most southerly atoll in the Seychelles islands, lying just over 700 km to the southwest of the main island Mahe.
This remote atoll has a total area, including the large lagoon, of 170.5 km², which is 18 km north to south and 9 km east to west.
The large ear-shaped lagoon provides easy skiff access to the countless flats, channels, and surf zones that makes Farquhar Atoll such an amazing fly fishing destination.

Fly Fishing Farquhar Atoll
Take a look at some of the species you can target on fly with Alphonse Fishing Company™.
Giant Trevally
Targeting Giant Trevallies on the fly is not for the faint-hearted, they are fierce, big, aggressive, and incredibly powerful. They are also quite often completely underestimated by new anglers but are respected by new and seasoned anglers alike. You need more than the best Giant Trevally flies, the best fly rod, and ideal conditions to catch giant Trevally – they have earned their name as ‘the gangstas of the flats’ for a good reason!

Indo-Pacific Permit
Golden-yellow fins with big, black eyes are the most striking features of an Indo-Pacific Permit. Apart from that, they are well camouflaged on the backdrop of white sand, turtle grass, or coral flats. Their body is a silver, almost mirror-like colour that reflects their habitat, making them nearly invisible to the untrained eye.
