The fly fishing week of the Cosmoledo Atoll season began with 12 anglers and lots of excitement all around. The week before, we had quite a close call with a cyclone but managed to have no damage, and the camp was reset for what we anticipated would be a great week.
As we had hoped, the week was a fantastic show, with excellent all-around angling and new anglers catching their first GT within the first couple of days on Cosmoledo. Some of the guests concentrated on specific species as it was their first time in the Seychelles. Drew Chicone led the pack in this regard as he caught everything in his path – groupers, snappers, giant trevallies, triggerfish, bluefin, and many more!
Over the week, we had a good number of GTs showing up in all sizes. Two very large GT were unfortunately hooked and then lost, but despite that, the search continued, and the lucky skiff pairing for the week was Gentry Lee and David Buck, both landing a metre fishing on the same day!
The stars aligned for two anglers who both ended up with Flats Slams for the week. Adam Barker started with a magical GT, a personal best bonefish, and his very first Indo-Pacific permit. Scott Mackenzie ended a fantastic week with a GT, bonefish, and a very special yellowmargin triggerfish.
