We have some incredible last minute space available on Farquhar and Cosmoledo Atolls in February 2025. Just one rod is available on each atoll offering seven nights and six days fishing. The space can be combined into one trip, with the linking day spent on Alphonse Island, or can be taken as two separate weeks. Accommodation is on a single basis (this is extraordinarily rare as there are just two single rooms available per week and these always go first) and with a shared boat/guide (two anglers to one guide).
Itinerary (taken as a combination) would work as below:
11th February – Arrive Mahé and overnight at the Eden Bleu.
12th – 18th February – Fly to Farqhuar and enjoy six days fishing with single accommodation and shared boat/guide.
19th February – Fly to Alphonse and overnight.
20th to 26th February – Fly to Astove and transfer by boat to Cosmoledo and enjoy six days fishing with single accommodation and a shared boat/guide.
27th February – Fly back to Mahé
Farquhar has to be up there on the GT destination list although it is also a very rounded atoll, offering some of the most productive saltwater flats in the Seychelles. As with all the atolls, Farquhar has something unique to offer its anglers; coral crunching bumphead parrotfish whose crushing beak is a hazard to any fly taken …. and retrieved. Farquhar is also unique in that the marauding GTs have identified an unusual food source; young sooty terns that they target directly off the beach, charging up into skinny water to strike their prey. The simple lodge retains a genuine fishing lodge appeal and accommodates 10 anglers per week with shared boat/guide (ratio of two anglers to one guide).
Cosmoledo is the undisputed GT capital of the flats fishing world, with vast numbers patrolling the remote white sand flats and channels. The atoll is geographically so perfect for nurturing GTs it is essentially a GT nursery. If you want to take the edge of GT fever, then this is definitely the place to be. Alongside GTs, anglers will find bonefish, permit, triggerfish, bluefin trevally, milkfish and a whole host of reef species. Cosmoledo is very much about bare foot simplicity but with all the comfort and mod-cons that you could wish for. Anglers stay in a pretty ingenious eco-lodge which has been built from repurposed shipping containers. Everyone dines together and it’s easy to forget how very remote you actually are – it’s a very cool feeling. Cosmoledo fishes 12 anglers per week.
