Fly Fishing the Forgotten Atolls of Papua New Guinea provide numerous genuine chances to land large Giant Trevally on Fly which is the main appeal of this destination.

Predominantly fishing from 23 foot Pangas each fitted with 60HP 4 stroke engines, they provide perfect access to the inner lagoons of the atolls while also providing a very soft ride when travelling between the mothership and fishing locations.

Two 25ft Sportfishers are also available for the outer reef areas, including coral bommies for Dogtooth Tuna, or chasing Yellowfin Tuna is the schools are in the area.

These trips will be focussed on fishing two different atolls over six full days, providing a mixture of flats and reef edge fly fishing on foot, and boat based fly fishing targeting coral bommies, atoll walls and other structure. Flexibility in the program will allow moving the Mothership between moorings to suit the best weather conditions. November and April generally provide settled conditions at sea, with protection from any prevailing swell available through the extensive reef systems.

The fishing weeks have been selected with optimal tides, allowing a mixture of boat based and flats based fly fishing to suit the tides and movement of fish on and off the atolls.

As a hosted trip, your host will coordinate fishing areas and daily fishing plans and while there are boatmen, this trip is not guided, so is suitable for intermediate to experienced fly fishermen only, with an ability to spot, cast and land your own fish each day when on foot.

As per all Fly Odyssey bookings, you will be provided with a comprehensive pre-trip guide prior to departure.
