Add to My List Check Off

The Andros Barrier Reef just off Andros Island, the largest of the inhabited islands in the Bahamas, has been called the “Bonefishing Capital of the World” due to its abundant supply of the ghost like game fish. Pound for pound, Bonefish are the strongest and fastest salt water fish in the world. The highly prized Bonefish are eagerly sought by sportsmen typically equipped with fly fishing gear in shallow water. Experienced and well-trained guides are available on Andros Island to escort fishermen through the expansive flats while navigating creeks that intersect the reef surrounding the island providing ideal habitat for the treasured Bonefish along with other highly regarded catch such as Tarpon, Barracuda and Permit. A number of resorts operate on Andros Island that sit on white, powder-sand beaches with swaying palms while catering to Bonefishing enthusiasts. In addition to the prolific Bonefishing excursions, snorkeling, deep-sea fishing, diving, kayaking and exploring Andros Island are among the other diversions fancied by visitors. Andros Island is not really just a single island but a series of islands, islets and cays connected by mangrove estuaries and tidal swamp lands. While it’s true that Andros is the largest land mass of the inhabited Islands in the Bahamas, it is also the least densely populated. Just off the East side of the island the 3 kilometer deep “Tongue of the Ocean” is found while the 3rd longest barrier reef in the world contains the archipelago with its famous bonefishing sites on the opposite side. Most visitors to Andros Island take the short hop plane ride or the ferry from Nassau. Alternatively there is regular air service to Andros Island from Fort Lauderdale, Florida in the USA. Your dream of fly fishing the flats of the Andros Barrier Reef to experience the thrill of catching Bonefish can be fulfilled by adding this trip to Fly Fish at Andros Barrier Reef to your list.
