Ed Blank's ADVENTURES on the Fly is proud to offer the 650 square miles of bonefish flats surrounding Christmas Island as one of our personal flyfishing destinations. The island is famous for its large numbers of bonefish in the 3-6 pound range with plenty of opportunities to catch double digit bonefish on a fly. Ten- thirty bonefish a day are the rule not the exception. These trips are for flyfishing enthusiasts who want to maximize their fishing time and flexibility while visiting Christmas Island. The Mini-Hotel is the smaller of the two lodges on the island and can take up to 8 fly fishing guests at a time. Our size allows us to do things a little differently than our competition. We fish harder and we fish longer with no overtime charges. We fish the flats that are right for that day and tide and don't have a rotation schedule. If you want to go back to that killer flat you fished yesterday we can do it. We travel to the flats by boat every day rather than truck giving us more flexibility to move and follow the tides rather than a lodge schedule. This large atoll in the Republic of Kiribati is home not only to a huge bonefish population but to several species of trevally as well (including the giant which runs up to 100 lbs.). Imagine a hundred pound eating machine attacking your surface popper while you helplessly hold on! Then just pray you have enough backing! If that's not enough how about tuna or wahoo?
