Fishing technique
Fly Fishing in the Maldives
Sight-casting a fly to fish on the flats and reef edges — a specialist technique rewarding accurate casting over shallow, clear water.
How It Works
Fly fishing here means sight-casting a fly to fish on the flats and reef edges, rather than trolling or bait fishing — a technique that rewards accurate casting and reading the water over shallow, clear ground.
Our own full-day and half-day fly fishing charters run from the same private Gaafu Atoll operation as our general charters. Bring your own fly rod and gear.
Target Species
- Giant Trevally (GT)
