GT-FOCUSED ANGLERS REACHED A TOTAL OF 75 GTS CATCHES!

This week’s fishing at Farquhar Atoll welcomed the wind dropping considerably, meaning we were able to venture out to enjoy the Atoll to its fullest. Most of the guests were GT-focused, which was evident in the final tally for the week, reaching a very impressive 75 GTs. However, there were some other incredible catches throughout the week.

A long-standing friend and guest, Stanislav Egorov, along with newcomer to the flats Stanislav Gorbunov had a great week wrapping up several GTs and bonefish along the way, sadly Stanislov Egorov lost three bumphead parrotfish on the last day. On his debut fly fishing the flats, Stanislov Gorbunov landed his first ever GT and bonefish.

Aaron Banks and Ladd Nolin had a wonderful week managing to land a bumphead parrotfish on the first day. With that box ticked, they focused on wrapping up the GT numbers and ended their week on a high with an impressive 15 GTs boated on the last day, with Ladd also managing a 63 cm bonefish to go with it.

Laurent Dobler and Tim Lewis consistently added to the GT tally with some great catches. Laurent managed to land himself a fish of a lifetime, a 119 cm GT. The way that fish ate the fly will forever be tattooed in the minds of everyone on the skiff. Tim had a solid week with a good number of GTs and landed the forever welcomed Napoleon wrasse. He sadly lost his bumpy as it bit clean through the hook close to the net.

Mike Harris and Joe Pehanick shot the lights out this week with the most GTs in the week. Joe managed to land an impressive 111 cm GT together with a splendid Napoleon wrasse.

James Henchey and William Harris were very focused on GTs, and their dedication paid off, with James managing to land an excellent 105 cm and the biggest of the season to date, a monstrous 120 cm GT.
