The Indian Ocean is a truly unforgettable destination for the intrepid saltwater angler. There are accommodations and operations to suit individual tastes and challenges, from the simplicity of a liveaboard to the sheer luxury of Desroches there is a diverse choice. Along with the wealth of species that all the atolls have to offer ie bonefish, triggerfish, sailfish, bluefin trevellay, barracuda all of the atolls have their ‘speciality’ species.
Alphonse has a well deserved repuation as the place to go to target milkfish on fly at the right time of year;
Farquhar has its bumphead parrotfish and Sooty Tern eating GTs;
Cosmoledo and Astove : GT central with large numbers of GTs patrolling their waters;
Desroches: fantastic bluewater sailfish and marlin on fly and Poivre has yet to reveal all of her permit secrets;
St Brandons is home to big Indian Ocean bonefish and its rare, but enomormous GTs who will test your skills and tackle to the limit;
Providence remains a bit of an unknown and still has to reveal her secrets; only a fraction of her fishery has been explored.
There are still rods scattered throughout the weeks on all of the operations so for more details or to hold space please contact Charlotte Chilcott or call us on 01980 847389
