About The Destination

Like many of the other atolls in the Seychelles Providence Atoll is a true fly fishing wilderness. The vast flats, enormous lagoon system and feeder channels offer fly fishermen the opportunity to wade 345 km² of pristine sand flats, turtle grass banks, surf areas and lagoon edges while targeting a multitude of species.

Anglers can expect to target and sight cast to giant trevally, bumphead parrotfish, triggerfish, bluefin trevally, milkfish, Indo-Pacific permit, napoleon wrasse, bonefish, grouper, snapper, barracuda and much more. Providence Atoll is also known for its fantastic offshore fishing for sailfish and yellowfin tuna.

Fly Fishing Providence 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!

Bumphead Parrotfish

The allure of targeting a Bumphead Parrot fish or Bumpies has brought many an angler to the Seychelles. Farquhar and Providence are two of the very few destinations where flyfishers can actively target Bumphead Parrotfish on the flats.

Moustache Triggerfish

Moustache Triggerfish (Balistoides viridescens), appropriately named as it boasts a very prominent dark line above the top lip. With its yellow body and orange fins edged with black lines it is the most commonly caught Trigger.

Yellowmargin Triggerfish

Yellowmargin Triggerfish (Pseudobalistes flavimarginatus) identified by an array of colours, it has a tan body with dark spots, orange margins in the fins, and a pinky-orange snout and cheeks.

Milkfish

Milkfish, also known as Chanos Chanos, are challenging and hard-fighting opponents. The origins of targeting this species on the fly stem back to Alphonse Island and the lagoon of St. Francois, where these techniques were first pioneered and developed. To catch a milkfish on the fly is no easy feat!

Barracuda

The Barracuda is a fiercely opportunistic predator that puts up a good fight. We love fly fishing for barracuda because you need more than the best barracuda flies, rods, and tackle – you need your wits about you!
