Fanning Island is the Pacific's ultimate fly-fishing secret, offering dedicated anglers access to untouched, world-class flats. This remote Kiribati destination is prized for its conservation efforts, ensuring minimal pressure on massive fish populations. You'll be sight-fishing for trophy Bonefish (up to 10+ lb), battling powerful Giant Trevally, and attempting the ultimate fly rod challenge: the Bumphead Parrotfish.
This is a demanding, logistics-heavy trip—you'll stay in rustic camps like Fanning Huts for essential local knowledge and must arrive fully equipped with heavy gear, tackle, and mandatory remote medical evacuation insurance. If you value the challenge of a pristine, unpressured fishery over resort luxury, Fanning Island is your next serious adventure.
