Fly Fishing the Alphonse Group of Atolls

Renowned as one of the Indian Ocean’s premier saltwater fly fishing destinations, the Alphonse Group offers an extraordinary experience for anglers seeking adventure and world-class fishing. Spanning an impressive 10,000 acres of pristine white sand flats, these atolls provide easy wading and unparalleled opportunities for fly fishing. The year-round fishing season caters to all skill levels, with certain periods offering unique challenges for seasoned anglers. To preserve the pristine ecosystem, only 12 anglers are permitted to fish daily, ensuring a sustainable and undisturbed environment.

The Alphonse Group is celebrated for its abundant bonefish population and an impressive variety of other sought-after species, including triggerfish, Indo-Pacific permit, parrotfish, and multiple trevally varieties like giant, bluefin, golden, brassy, and yellowdot trevally. Anglers can also target barracuda, snapper, grouper, and milkfish—the latter offering the finest fishing experience in the world. The permit fishing here ranks among the best in the Seychelles, making the Alphonse Group a bucket-list destination for enthusiasts.

Offshore waters further elevate the experience with an incredible array of bluewater species perfect for game fishing. Towering drop-offs and rich underwater structures attract pelagic giants such as sailfish, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, dogtooth tuna, dorado, and even marlin.
