Desroches Island Seychelles Fly Fishing
Located in the Indian Ocean, Desroches Island is the biggest of the Almirante Archipelago, a group of islands and atolls formed of coral that are part of the external group of islands of the Seychelles archipelago. Located 230 km south-west of Mahé, the Almirante islands are linked to Mahé by a 40-minute flight. The 4, 8 km-long coral atoll is surrounded by turquoise waters and can be reached by private charter flights.
Desroches is a small coastal paradise excellent for scuba diving and sport fishing. To get to the Seychelles from South America, there are flights leaving from Brazil and Argentina to Johannesburg and from there to Mahé. From Europe, there are direct flights to Mahe from Paris.
The atolls offer excellent sport fishing, but it all depends on the tides. Big schools of Bonefish are found in the flats. There is also plenty of permit, which are usually caught by wading, GT (Giant Trevally) weighing up to 100 pounds, large Barracudas, Sharks, Snappers and many other species. Deep sea fishing is also very exciting; it can be done with a fly fishing or a conventional tackle to fish Sailfish, Marlin, Wahoo, Bluefin, GT, Dorados, etc.
The fishing area covers the Desroches Island and other atolls (Remiere, Poivre, Saint Joseph and African Banks Atolls). Our operation offers 6 Mitzky skiffs fully-equipped for fly fishing, well-qualified guides and a 48-foot yacht with 2 engines of 450 HP fit for fly fishing, two rooms, air conditioning and all the comforts for a perfect trip to the atolls. The best months for fishing are from October through April.
