Wild Astove Atoll – An Unrivaled Fishing Experience
The rugged, secluded and remarkably remote setting and surroundings of Astove make it the perfect destination for anglers seeking adventure with a unique, wild and totally isolated fishing experience.
The Coral Lodge caters to only six clients per week making for an intimate experience. A 12 week season guarantees a rare privilege to gaze into a world that has changed very little in the years that have passed. It’s a fantastic fishery that allows anglers an opportunity to catch bonefish, giant trevally, triggerfish, milkfish, permit, grouper, barracuda, tuna, wahoo and a multitude of other species.
The magical shallows white lagoon is a must for anglers in search of catching trophy bonefish up to 9lb. Astove is most well known to be the destination where you have a chance at catching a monstrous Giant Trevally while wading the flats. This past season was no exception with anglers on average landing six GT’s per angler per week and the magical one-meter mark being broken on numerous occasions with the biggest Giant Trevally of the season taped at 132cm’s. The margin for error on a fish over 100 cm’s is so slight and the need for luck so significant that stories of lost lines, broken rods and lengthy tug-of-wars were a common occurrence.
Astove is a wondrous place and the majority of anglers returning from the island this season have remarked not just on the great fly fishing but also on the incredible rugged and wild landscape complete with it’s amazing variety of marine life. The Astove Wall, commonly known as “The Great Drop Off” is described as gazing down into the Grand Canyon – It consists of the large flats and reef dropping a vertical 90 degrees, from ankle deep water to over a kilometre deep. The team doesn’t have to venture far from shore to experience crazy bluewater action as shown in the recently released short clip by Yeti called COSMO. https://alphonsefishingco.com/yetis-cosmo/
