FARQUHAR - Fly Fishing the Pristine Flats of the Seychelles

Farquhar Atoll, a hidden gem nestled in the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, beckons with its turquoise waters and pristine white sand beaches. A haven for adventurous anglers, this remote atoll in the Seychelles is a fly fishing paradise, where the pearlescent flats teem with an impressive array of game fish, including giant trevally, bumphead parrotfish, permit, bonefish, and triggerfish.
As you approach the atoll by airplane, the sheer beauty of Farquhar Atoll leaves you breathless. The atoll emerges from the horizon like a pearl in the ocean, a mesmerizing sight that sets the stage for an unforgettable adventure - and as you touch down, you're filled with anticipation for the fly fishing exploits that lie ahead.
In the Loop Magazine's latest film is a poignant and inspiring tale of family, adventure, and fishing. Join Jon Pageler as he journeys to Farquhar Atoll with his sister and dad, driven by a heartfelt mission to catch a giant trevally in honor of his cousin Chuck, who tragically passed away from Covid-19 prior to the trip - and learn more about Farquhar Atoll and its pristine flats fishery along the way.

Yeah, the species variety there is mind-boggling!

[@RoryLynott]

To say the very least, all of these fish are impressive! The parrot fish, whoah!!

[@IntheLoopMagazine]

Thanks for the feedback. Yup, parrotfish are something out of the ordinary. Incredibly challenging to catch and a sight to behold!

Feel free to leave a comment if you like what you see. We'd appreciate it! 🙂

[@ryantherock7664]

Excellent video chaps…what reel do you recommend for the big GTs?

[@IntheLoopMagazine]

Thanks for the feedback. You'll need 12-weight rods and reels. We use the Lamson Cobalt and CenterFire reels, which have the breaking strength needed to subdue a big GT.

Awesome video guys and phenomenal fishing! Any advice on boat rentals in that area?

[@IntheLoopMagazine]

It is truly a diverse and unique fishery.

Hello, I'm going there for my honeymoon, but we don't have much money. I have a question whether I would be able to catch anything there on my own (I mean larger fish). Do I need money for a boat, a guide, etc.? Can I, for example, rent a kayak and fish, or maybe go into the water a few meters from the shore and catch something? :) Can I ask for some tips on which island will be best for fishing (I have a fly rod and a spinning rod) Thank you for your answer and best regards.

[@IntheLoopMagazine]

Hi. You might be able to do some DIY fly fishing around the main island, Mahe. Here, you're likely to find bluefin trevally, a few bonefish, and maybe even a permit. However, the fishing on the outer atolls - including Farquhar - is run by Alphonse Fishing Company. Enjoy your stay!
