The Seychelles is made up of 115 islands and a Seychellois population of about 80 000 people from varied and diverse cultural backgrounds. The location is remote, population is small, exclusive economic zone is large and the natural environment is pristine. This makes for some astounding fly fishing opportunities and places the Seychelle Islands amongst the most exclusive travel destinations on this planet.

Any chance to visit this part of the world should be actively pursued and it is definitely right up there on the wish list.
Exotic islands, French culture and chefs, perfect climate, creole menus and the special feeling only an exclusive experience can give you.

The inner islands are typically old granite islands and hold most of the local human population. Bonefish and trevally, as well as a host of other species, are found throughout the Seychelles and good fly fishing can be had right on the main island of Mahe or any of the other inner islands.
Staying at Le Fishermans Wharf, on Mahe, for our first night in the Seychelles there was a bonefish tailing over a raised weed bed as the tide started to rise and walking along the wall at high tide I saw a number of milkfish. Location photo
