Guided Bonefishing
World-class bonefishing on the pristine flats of the Caicos Islands. Experienced local guides, classic flats skiffs, and crystal-clear sight-fishing.
Fish the Flats of North Caicos
Whether we fish from the boat or wade the shallow waters of the tidal flats, fly-fishing for bonefish in the Turks & Caicos is an exciting, unforgettable experience. Our guides are trained and certified to ensure that it is also a safe and positive one.
The productive flats are only minutes from the launch, so you spend more time casting and less time running. Classic flats skiffs let anglers pole quietly into range of sighted fish, whether you prefer to wade or fish from the bow.
While many anglers focus on Providenciales, our program is built around quieter, less-pressured water near Bottle Creek and North Caicos where fish see very little traffic.

The Bonefish Around Bottle Creek
The bonefish here are plentiful and aggressive feeders. Tides, season, moon, and weather all play into their feeding patterns, so experience matters. Our guides have fished the area their whole lives and are always happy to share their knowledge.
Schools (2–4 lb)
When the tide is moving, you can typically expect to see schools of bonefish in the 2–4lb class moving across the flats in search of a meal. These provide non-stop action and are ideal for building confidence on the fly.
Larger Singles & Pairs
Much larger bonefish can approach double figures and can take you into your backing before you have time to adjust your drag. Make certain your knots and line connections are strong — these large fish will test your equipment to breaking.
