cosmoledo atoll
The Aldabra group of atolls are amongst the most biodiverse and pristine in the world, with Cosmoledo being the crown jewel from a fly fishing perspective. Protected by the efforts of the Alphonse Fishing Company, it offers a very select number of visitors vast, wadable sand flats and beautiful coral reefs, all surrounding an incredible lagoon, providing the fly fisher with over 150 square kilometres of exclusive fishing.
It has the justified reputation for being the Giant Trevally capital of the world, but this is just a fraction of the species on offer. From the omnipresent bonefish and multitude of reef species to the Milkies, Bumpies, Permit, and all manner of big game fish, everything is on offer at this explosive fishery!
Its eco lodge has the bare minimum impact on the island, providing guests very comfortable, air conditioned eco-pods with all the amenities a fly fisher needs after a long day on the water. The welcoming hospitality and wonderful cusine make the communal dining and entertainmnet area a very relaxing one. As one has come to expect from AFC, the guides are at the top of their game, with many years of experience to match their skill set. From the convenience of the modern skiffs you get to safely explore one of the world’s last great marine wonderlands and challenge the king all all Kingfish for his throne.
This is salt water fly fishing Nirvana.

Cosmoledo Atoll
The search for virgin territory in fishing circles is where the game is at. We all want to cast at fish that has never seen a fly, just show me an ignorant fish and I’ll show you a happy angler. Deserted atolls in the middle of the Indian Ocean fit this bill and it doesn’t get any more remote than the Aldabra group. Fortunately, it’s part of the remarkable conservation program that the outer islands of the Seychelles are renowned for, led by the efforts of the Alphonse Fishing Company.
