We wrapped up our first season at Farquhar Atoll in March of this year. It has been a privilege to share this unique fishery with guests from all over the world! The fishing experience riveted our guests and us from start to finish and was not only exciting but also served to showcase the incredible diversity of species around the atoll.
There is such a variety on offer: from wading and sight fishing on the flats to bluewater fishing the off-shore reef complexes. You can be stalking tailing bonefish one moment before fly fishing for GTs over your lunch break and ending off the day by luring in some behemoth-sized bumpies – it really is enough to have anyone catch the fish fever!
Our personal highlight over the past season was experiencing the jaw-dropping Goulette Island, part of Farquhar Atoll, and the BBC’s Blue Planet II scene. Fishing the many large GTs patrolling its shoreline or targeting the bumpies on its turtle grass flats is truly as close to Heaven as we can come on this earth!
The past season at Farquhar confirmed that it is one of the most unique, unexplored, and unchartered atolls in the Outer Islands of the Seychelles.
One of only two atolls where one can target the strangely beautiful bumphead parrotfish, Farquhar Atoll also showcased its diversity with the number of GTs reeled in, right along with the likes of the Indo-Pacific permit, moustache triggerfish, yellowmargin triggerfish, bonefish, bluefin trevally, barracuda and milkfish, to name a few.
Here are just a few of the achievements that were truly remarkable this season:
We are so excited to return to Farquhar towards the end of the year and to share this exceptional fishery with you once again.
Until then, all of us at Alphonse Fishing Co. stay safe and stay dreaming until we can fish together again!
