St. Brandon's Atoll is known for abundant and massive bonefish, with anglers regularly hooking up with double digit bonefish. Additionally, the area is home to healthy populations of Indo-Pacific permit and various species of trevally. This area is perhaps the most isolated saltwater fishery on the planet, so anglers should take great care in their pre-trip planning and gear preparations.
Having extensively traveled and fly fished the world, we are the industry’s foremost authority on destination-specific equipment, gear, and flies. Over a week of fishing in St. Brandon's, anglers can expect shots at a wide variety of saltwater flat's species including bonefish, Indo-Pacific permit, and a variety of trevally. If you are fishing for less than five days, we recommend a bare minimum of twenty four flies or a more adequate selection of thirty-six flies.
Over time, dirt, grime, and other contaminants can accumulate on your fly line, which can negatively impact your casting performance. A dirty fly line can stick to your guides and drag through the water, resulting in poor casting distance and accuracy. Regularly cleaning your fly line can help extend its lifespan. Dirt and other contaminants can cause the coating on your fly line to degrade faster, leading to cracks and other damage that can weaken the line. A clean fly line can help you detect subtle strikes and improve your overall fishing experience.
Anglers should bring high-quality saltwater wading boots with a gravel guard.
