Shop For Your Next Christmas Island Fly Fishing Adventure
The highly remote island of Christmas Island is known as one of the world's best bonefishing destinations, while also granting anglers access to giant trevally, triggerfish, and more. Travel to Christmas Island is fairly easy, but once there, anglers should not expect to have any access to fly fishing equipment. Anglers should prepare accordingly, bringing backup rods, plenty of flies and terminal tackle, and apparel that will stand up to a week of wading extensive flats.
Having extensively traveled and fly fished the world, we are the industry’s foremost authority on destination-specific equipment, gear, and flies. Over a week of fishing on Christmas Island, anglers can expect shots at bonefish, trevally, and triggerfish. Fishing packages for Christmas Islands are always a week long, and we recommend anglers bring a selection of forty-eight flies for their trip.
Important Note
Over time, dirt, grime, and other contaminants can accumulate on your fly line, which can negatively impact your casting performance. A dirty fly line can stick to your guides and drag through the water, resulting in poor casting distance and accuracy. Regularly cleaning your fly line can help extend its lifespan. Dirt and other contaminants can cause the coating on your fly line to degrade faster, leading to cracks and other damage that can weaken the line. A clean fly line can help you detect subtle strikes and improve your overall fishing experience. A dirty line can reduce your ability to feel the fly and detect when a fish has taken it.
Important Note
High-quality, durable saltwater wading boots are a must in this environment as all fishing is done on foot.
