3 FLAT SLAMS & 1 SUPER SLAM DURING THE NEW FISHING SEASON AT FARQUHAR ATOLL

The start of the new fly fishing season at Farquhar Atoll started with some great catches from our guests.

The family trio of Johnathan, Johnathan-Thomas, and Jennifer Pageler had a great week, with Johnathan and Jennifer both managing equal Flat Slams of a bumpy, GT, and bonefish, as well as several other great species throughout the week.

Alejandro Abascal also managed a Slam that comprised an Indo-Pacific permit, bonefish, and GT. It was the first permit of the season. He also had a great variety of species under his belt at the end of the week.

Rasmus Ovesen and Martin Olsen had a stellar week. Martin managed to land the first bumphead parrotfish of the season as well as the biggest GT of the week, measuring an impressive 112 cm. He didn’t stop there, as he also managed an outstanding Permit after sadly losing one at the net. He also managed to land himself a Flat Slam!

Rasmus shot the lights out mid-week with an impressive Super Slam comprising a bonefish, GT, permit, and bumpy. Sadly, the triggerfish didn’t materialize.
Jacob Fardan consistently ticked over the number counter with steady GT catches throughout the week but sadly lost a bumpy after a long fight.

Despite the weather not always being conducive, as there was still a stiff SE trade wind blowing with patches of rain from time to time, the group was constantly in great spirits, especially around the bar in the evenings, swapping the days’ fly fishing stories.

Tight lines,
