Accommodations are at the decadent Alphonse Island Resort, where after a day of chasing fish on the flats, you'll be able to kick back with a cool beverage, enjoy a sumptuous meal, and gather with others to talk about your exploits of the day.
Fly into Mahé International Airport and then transfer from Mahé to Alphonse Island. Check-in, orientation, and briefing. Once everything is rigged and ready for the week, you'll have the option to either fish unguided on the Alphonse flats, relax around the pool or at the Le Lys Bar, or enjoy the myriad of activities on offer until dinner is served.
6:00 AM Breakfast at Bijoutier restaurant followed by a 30–45-minute skiff ride to the fishing grounds. 5:00 PM return to Alphonse with some time to freshen up and relax before happy hour and dinner.
Following check-out you will be transferred back to Mahé International airport for your return trip home or onward to your next adventure.
The main fishing grounds at St. Francois is approximately seven miles long and four miles wide, consisting of firm white sand bottoms interlaced with channels and cuts. The maximum number of anglers allowed to fish on St. Francois is limited to 12 per day, which makes for uncrowded fishing. A typical fishing session will involve wading away from the skiff for a few hours. Bonefish wade trips usually involve casting to cruising or tailing fish as they forage for crustaceans. While the Alphonse Group is celebrated as a premier bonefish fishery, there are abundant quantities of other fish species you may encounter—60 species targeted on the fly, including three species of triggerfish, seven species of trevally, milkfish, barracuda, sailfish, dogtooth tuna, and yellowfin tuna, and a plethora of other flats and offshore species.
