"My first fly fishing experience at St Brandon's and and can say the guides at fly cast away are first class. One of the best places we have visited to big bonefish.
Thanks for organizing everything.

Mauritius fishing trips are renowned for one species, and that is the Bonefish. Considered to be among the world’s premier fly game fish and are highly sought after by anglers, the groups of Atolls, especially St.Brandons, offer some of the most spectacular Bonefish fishing you will ever encounter.
On most tides, anglers can expect to see vast shoals of these shallow water speedsters, with fish averaging 6-7lb. However, double-digit fish of enormous proportions are also common; the largest Bonefish landed to date was a whopping 87cm which, according to studies, puts it in the region of 15lbs.
If you’ve never been Bonefish fishing before, then why not read our blog on Everything you need to know about catching Bonefish.
It’s not just Bonefish you can catch on your Mauritius fishing trip, as the Atolls are home to a wide range of different species, and the fishery is exceptionally well balanced.
Stunning Indo-Permit, a host of Trevally species including Bluefin, Golden, Yellow Dot, Green Spot and Giant Trevally of over 100lbs in weight are also sought-after.
