If you have ever dreamt of visiting what is arguably the best bonefishing location in the world, this is the perfect opportunity.  The experience is as close as you could get to utopia for the sight casting junkie.

On previous trips, even novices who had never cast a flyrod managed to land 20 or 30 of these magnificent sportfish.

For those wanting an extra challenge, the lagoon also hosts some monster GT's (up to 100lb). The sight of one of these fish taking a fly in skinny water will turn even the most calm fisherman into a jibbering mess. As well, there are  numerous other species including Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo and Sailfish that will test your skills, stamina and gear.

The total trip cost for a week works out at around $3,200 AUS (including airfares from Brisbane).

This includes:-

  • Seven days fishing

  • Outrigger canoe transport to the flats. 

  • One guide for two anglers for seven days fishing. 

  • Transport to the Korean Wreck area for a spot of gear testing. 

  • Three, four hour briefing sessions (tying, casting techniques, gear rigging) prior to departure to get you ready. 

  • All meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner).

  • Air conditioned, twin share accommodation fronting onto the water. Each room has its own ensuite, towels are supplied and the whole lodge is spotlessly kept.

Everyone who goes to Christmas Island talks about the experience for years.

This has to be rated as one of the trips of a lifetime for a fly fisherman.
