FISHING
Farquhar consistently produces some of the finest saltwater fly fishing on the planet. The huge variety of species, together with its diverse structure varying between large white sand flats, coral and grass fingers, storm ridges, and broken coral surf flats, make this atoll a complete saltwater experience for the traveling angler. This atoll is one of the few Seychelles destinations where you will have the chance to target the elusive bumphead parrotfish on the flats. One of the most powerful tailing fish you are ever likely to encounter that swim in shoals of between five to 30 fish, on calmer days they can be seen from a mile away when waving their big blue tails in the air like giant triggerfish.
If it’s variety that you are after, Farquhar can definitely provide opportunities at an impressive range of fish species that you would battle to find at one destination anywhere else in the world. Giant trevally, bonefish, Indo-Pacific permit, bluefin trevally, yellowspot trevally, bohar snapper, green jobfish, grouper, barracuda, and three triggerfish species all frequent the flats. Farquhar also provides some truly exceptional offshore fly fishing with sailfish, barracuda, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, dogtooth tuna, and a host of others that prowl just off the flats, providing even further species to tick off your bucket list.
