GIGANTIC GTS - WITH TWO GTS RANGING BETWEEN 113 CM & 118 CM

The fly fishing week at Cosmoledo Atoll saw eight guests arrive, of which seven made their first trip to this atoll on the Outer Islands of Seychelles. Nick Bowles and Matt Born together with their friend Mark Taylor. David Anchell, Spencer Kennedy, Mike Molenaar, Mika Letho and Helena (Kitty) Ihamuotila.

The week started to a great start, despite the windy conditions, as Nick ticked the box off on the first day by landing an impressive 110 cm GT on his bamboo rod. He ended up with a tremendous yellowmargin triggerfish, a bunch of bones, and a good number of GTs. Mark had a stellar week landing two GTs over the 100 cm mark. The fish of the week is a monster 118 cm fish caught in the surf. He then ended his week off with a 113 cm GT.

Matt had a solid week and ended up with a good bunch of GTs and yellowmargin triggerfish. Spencer, who was entirely new to saltwater fly fishing, managed his first GT on the fly and many other species throughout the week.

David had a remarkable achievement by landing a sailfish on the last afternoon, which put up a great fight before being successfully released. Mika managed to land the forever illusive Indo-pacific permit, which was tailing on a ray. Together a good GT count and several decent bonefish left him with a great result at the end of the week. Kitty had a somewhat more relaxed, leisurely week. She enjoyed snorkelling, swimming, and beach walks that Cosmo has to offer.
