Bahamas Fly Fishing Path: Home > Fly Fishing - Destinations > Bahamas Fishing "The Land of Fishing Giants" The Fishing Names like Grassy Creek, Deep Creek, Little Creek, the Water Cays and Curley Cut Cays are intrinsically linked to sight fishing for some of the worldīs largest bonefish. Since the early 90īs Bairīs has become highly regarded as providing the best fishing South Andros has to offer, primarily for bonefish, with occasional tarpon and permit. Other species encountered include barracuda, jacks and several types of snapper. Ideally located to access Deep Creek, Little Creek, and the famous West side and Southern Cays, the lodge enjoys some of the most under-fished flats in Andros, in a context of easy access to wading flats and protected areas in the event of bad weather. Recommended fly Gear includes nine foot, 6 to 9 weight fly rod with 200 yards of 20lb backing and saltwater type floating lines.; 8 to 12 ft bonefish leaders with 8 to 16 lb test tippets. Fly patterns which work best are tan and pink. "Gotchaīs" are especially effective as well as shrimp and crab patterns. Hooks size 2-8 Spinning gear required includes 6 to 7 foot ultra light to medium rod with 200 yards of 6 to 10 lb test tippets. Anglers should bring plenty of lures (small jigs, pink or tan) , since they are not available on the island. Fishing schedule can be tailored to suit anglersīneeds ,though generally speaking a typical day will start with breakfast at 7, fishing beginning at 8 and ending between 4 and 5 pm. Picnic lunches and cold drinks are taken to the flats in a cooler by your guide. Bairīs is a strictly CATCH AND RELEASE fishery. Offshore fishing can be arranged seasonally for billfish species, wahoo, tuna, and dorado. Since men have fished for bonefish, Andros has been a name synonymous with the biggest fish, and South Andros has built a reputation over the years as being the location to try for a "giant".
