To fly fishermen the Bahamas means bonefish. With over 700 islands and cays spread over 300 miles, the Bahamas contain endless miles of accessible flats with great numbers of bonefish. Thats what you go for. What brings you back are the sun-drenched beaches, the turquoise water, balmy breezes, the conch chowder and warm and welcoming Bahamian people. We have hand picked from among the best Bahamian bonefish lodges and are proud to offer: Peace & Plenty Bonefish Lodge: Located on a peaceful peninsula ten
miles south of Georgetown, on the island of Great Exuma, P&P offers some of the best
bonefishing in the Bahamas. The fine white sand bottom and crystal clear water make this
ideal for wading or skiff fishing. Large schools of 3-6 lb bonefish provide plenty of
action for even novice fly fishermen, with occasional shots at larger bones, permit and
barracuda. Bob Hyde the fishing director at Peace & Plenty has hand picked and trained
a staff of quality flats guides. In addition to local knowledge, many are patient
instructors who can help you hone your skills. Cost: $2,221-$2,361 per week from Georgetown,
Exuma. Shorter stays available
North Riding Point Club: An exclusive new lodge on the south side of Grand Bahama that is sure to become a favorite. NRPC sits on a spectacularly beautiful, remote beach just a short drive from hundreds of square miles of virgin flats home to large bonefish that have seldom seen a fly. Fish from trailered 16 foot Dolphin Super Skiffs equipped with leaning posts. Stay in one of three deluxe seafront cottages, dine on gourmet food and if it all gets to be too much - take a massage. Cost: $3,080-$3,350 per week from Freeport Andros Island Bonefish Club: If youre after big bonefish, sooner or later youll fish Andros Island.

Situated at the mouth of Cargill Creek, on the east side of the island, AIBC has become a favorite with serious bonefishermen, offering clean, comfortable, air conditioned rooms and a menu featuring fresh seafood. Their experienced and knowledgeable native guides fish out of Dolphin Super Skiffs with poling platforms and 40-hp motors. According to Lefty Kreh who has fished all over the world, if he had only one day left to fish, he would spend it at Andros Island. Enough said.
