FARQUHAR ATOLL SEYCHELLES | JEFF CURRIER HOSTED TRIP REPORT

FARQUHAR ATOLL SEYCHELLES JEFF CURRIER HOSTED TRIP REPORT

Farquhar is easily one of the top remote saltwater fly fishing destinations on the planet. Home to giant trevally, milkfish and numerous other exotic fish species; this is the perfect destination for anglers who want the most diverse fishing action available. It takes some time to get there, but once you set foot on these pristine and incredibly productive flats, you will quickly agree that the effort is worth it. Yellow Dog Flyfishing team member Jeff Currier just returned from a hosted trip to Farquhar in the Indian Ocean, take a look!

I’ve always dreamt of fishing the Seychelles but the cost of the amazing trip has left me wondering if I’d ever set foot there. But there have been a lot of these places and somehow I always manage. Well, patience prevails and either today or tomorrow I’ll be on my way. I’m not sure when only because a massive snow storm is threatening and with only one charter a week leaving Mahe, Seychelles to the island of Farquhar I can’t take a chance of being snowed in Jackson for my AM flight and not getting to Mahe on time. I’m seriously contemplating a brutal icy road drive to Salt Lake City airport where I’m very confident the weather will be much better.

This trip wasn’t in my imagination a week ago. Conceive finding out you’re going to the Seychelles only days before going. But Jim Klug, friend and owner of Yellow Dog Fly Fishing Adventures, called me needed someone to take his place on a hosting job. Jim can’t go do to an unfortunately event with a Yellow Dog team family member.

Believe it or not I didn’t give a thumbs up on that first call. I’ve been gone so much this year and need December to catch up on art and prepare for the grueling speaking schedule that starts in January. But Granny told me I couldn’t pass this up, and furthermore, Jim needed help on this.

As always, blog posts will happen as I can do them. There is no contact with the world from Farquhar so most of my day-by-day accounts will post after the trip. Stay tuned. This should be phenomenal. My main goal after ensuring happy clients – bumpy head parrotfish on fly.
