Trip Report: Christmas Island

Upon arriving at Christmas Island and going through customs at their very small airport, each member of our group quickly found ourselves wearing a crown of woven leaves and flowers and a refreshing coconut beverage. We were quick to add spiced rum to our beverages. Contact us to book your trip to Christmas Island with Christmas Island Outfitters.

Like many fly anglers, I’ve read about how spectacular Christmas Island is for many years. It was a dream come true to finally be on a plane heading there. The fly boxes were full. My rods, reels and lines were prepared and ready. As we approached the island, I could see the massive array of flats that awaited our arrival. The day had come! Legendary Christmas Island guide, Moana Kofe, peers across a bonefish flat looking for the right conditions to begin a day of bonefishing. Moana was truly a joy to fish with and it was fun to try and pick up little pieces knowledge from his vast experience on the flats. It was also very fun to talk with him about life on the island and a whole bunch of non-fishing topics. Contact us to book your trip to Christmas Island with Christmas Island Outfitters.
