Alphonse Island

No comments yet

In this film, we explore the flats of Alphonse Island in pursuit of permit, giant trevally, bonefish, triggerfish, and batfish. The resort on Alphonse Island is world-class - a serene retreat for guests looking to unwind - but on the flats of nearby St. Francois Atoll, the action is non-stop. Join us as we uncover this prolific fishery and capture some of the first footage ever of batfish taking flies from the surface. Also, watch till the end for Martin's permit redemption.

A huge thanks to Blue Safari Fly Fishing's passionate guides and to the company for its continued commitment to carefully monitored, sustainable catch-and-release fishing.

Long story short

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
