2024 Christmas Island GT and Bonefish Tips // Episode 2

This video series includes information on what it's like to fly fish on Christmas Island, and tips on how to catch Bonefish, Triggerfish, and Giant Trevally. It's a (3) part series and will be followed by a full gear dump video on what I bring and fish with on these trips including flies, rods, reels, and clothing. Most of our hosted trips go through Ikari House Lodge including this adventure here.
