Collection: SEYCHELLES

The Seychelles is made up of over 100 islands located almost 1000 mile off the East coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. What does this mean? You’re able to get off the beaten path. Away from civilization and into arguably some of the best fishing this world has to offer. From the pristine flats that show case some of the best bone fishing in the world to the deep blue Indian Ocean where records are broken all the time. Most fly fishermen and women tend to stay on the flats in search of Bonefish or trevally. With good reason, just imagine stalking a school of over 100 hundred bonefish tails waiving in the air. With each step you are getting closer, closer and closer. Right as you are about to cast a scene that looks more like a lawn mower going through the ocean happens. Then you see the dark shape of a giant trevally coming fast and angry. You grab your trevally set up and make a perfect cast with your mullet imitation. You strip as fast as you can with the GT in hot pursuit. Fifteen feet away the GT eats your fly then blow up like a stick of dynamite and both of you are to off to the races. This is just one of the reasons why Seychelles is one of the best fisheries in the world.

There are some so many other fish that call the Seychelles flats home besides the bonefish and giant trevally. Like milkfish, parrotfish, triggerfish, cuda and even a few weary permit can be seen on the flats. Make sure to bring a good quiver of rods to fish the flats. Eight and nine weight will get the job done for the bones and some of the smaller tevally. A ten weight will handle most of your trevally needs and permit. Now if you were really serious about landing that trophy giant trevally I would bring a twelve weight rod with a specially made line especially for GT. Make sure to bring the right flies for each species of fish that you hope to encounter. We have a good selection of flies from Crazy Charlie’s for the bonefish to the large Striper Snack that would make a great meal for the trevally.

The offshore fishing is not to be dismissed by even the most casual of angler. You will find some of the biggest giant trevally the world has to offer just outside the flats. Moving out further you will start to run into Dogtooth Tuna that will test any angler’s strength and will. Oh, did I forget about the yellowfin, dorado, wahoo and sailfish that all can be enticed into eating a fly. Make sure to bring ten to fourteen weights to cover most of your pelagic needs. Line your reels with both floating lines and sinking tip so you can cover as much of the water column as you can.
