Salt Water Fly Fishing

 
Hosted Trip 

​
Are you ready for an amazing 6-day saltwater fishing adventure?

I had the most incredible time with our guide Jamie in Tobago last year, and I knew right then that it would be the perfect spot for small groups of fly fishing lovers!

June is the ultimate month for fly fishing in Tobago, with its stunning coastline and vibrant marine life offering fantastic opportunities.

And let’s not forget Trinidad, to some of the biggest Tarpon in the world—this is perfect for both fly and spin fishing! Our boat captain is Jonathan De La Rosa  https://www.instagram.com/monstatarpon/

​

Join us for an unforgettable diverse experience that you won’t want to miss!

​

Fishing is limited to a total of 6 hours per day and can be 3 hours around morning and late low tide. 

Tackle
​
Discover the exciting world of saltwater fly fishing with double-handed rods! While traditionally, single-handed rods have been the go-to, my recent trip revealed a wealth of opportunities for those who prefer the versatility of small double-handed setups. Our Cadence Microspey fit the bill. Many anglers shy away from them due to the challenge of casting off both shoulders, but I believe salmon fishermen will truly appreciate the experience. Pre-trip, I will help develop techniques and tips to make your trip enjoyable whether it's double hauling a single-handed or overhead casting a double-hander. 
​
Target Species
​
Welcome to the ultimate fishing experience in Tobago.

As a passionate salmon fisherman, you'll find the warm conditions here perfect for targeting impressive Bonefish and elusive Permit, with exciting opportunities for Tarpon as well. The Bonefish in Tobago can reach over 10lbs, making for an exhilarating catch, while baby Tarpon fishing in the mangrove channels offers a unique adventure. Join us for an unforgettable fishing journey, where seasoned anglers can take on the challenge of Permit fishing, especially rewarding in June!
 
​

Tobago offers an exciting fly fishing experience with several popular saltwater species to target. 

​

1. Bonefish: Renowned for their size, these elusive fish inhabit the shallow flats, providing thrilling fights with their speed and agility. 

2. Tarpon: Known for their acrobatics, baby Tarpon (8-20lbs) can be found in June within the mangrove-lined channels, while larger Tarpon over 100lbs are best targeted in Trinidad. 

3. Permit: Although challenging, catching a Permit is rewarding, as their wariness and selective feeding habits make them elusive and much prized flats fish.

4. Barracuda: As aggressive predators, Barracuda add an exhilarating element to your fishing adventure in Tobago.

 
Overall, fly fishing for saltwater species in Trinidad and Tobago can be a memorable experience, with plenty of opportunities to target a variety of exciting fish species using different fishing methods.

Weather Conditions
 

Tobago typically experiences warm and humid weather, marking the beginning of the rainy season. Here's what you can expect:  

• Temperatures: Average high temperatures hover around 31°C (88°F), while lows tend to be around 27°C (81°F).  

• Rainfall: Expect occasional showers and thunderstorms throughout the month. The rainfall can be heavy at times, but it often clears up quickly.  

• Humidity: High humidity levels can make it feel hotter than the actual temperature.  

• Sunshine: Despite the rain, Tobago still receives a decent amount of sunshine, making it a great time for outdoor activities.

Overall, June is a good time to visit Tobago for those who don't mind the occasional rain shower. The warm temperatures and beautiful beaches make it an ideal destination for a salt water fishing trip

Every type of fly-fishing I know is a balance between good conditions and rested water. Fewer anglers big Permit and Bonefish, not to mention spending a week in a beautiful tropical paradise is always nice to look forward to.
