Located roughly 1,340 miles south of Hawaii, this remote atoll is home to seemingly endless flats holding strong populations of large Bonefish, Triggerfish, and several Trevally species. The quaint beachfront lodge is peaceful and comfortable, featuring simple bungalows and unbelievable views of the Pacific Ocean. The outstanding fishery, comfortable accommodations, and delicious regional cuisine make Christmas Island Lodge one of the finest operations on the island.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e Bonefish, Triggerfish, \u0026amp; GT Anglers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e Fishing-Oriented Couples \u0026amp; Groups\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eWhen To Go\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eBecause Kiritimati is only 144 miles north of the equator, there is very little seasonal change in the weather and fishing conditions on Christmas Island, and the lodge is open year-round. The primary target flats species can be found here at any time of the year, including Bonefish, Triggerfish, and various Trevally species. The best time to visit Christmas Island is whenever your schedule allows!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eBonefish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eBonefish are an abundant target species on Kiritimati, with expansive wading flats within close proximity to the lodge. It's common for anglers to have shots at countless Bonefish per day, ranging in size from three to over ten pounds, with five-pound fish being very common. From sight-fishing large cruisers to targeting schools of tailing fish, there are plentiful bonefishing opportunities for anglers of any ability. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eTriggerfish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eWith behavior similar to Permit, this unique reef species can be found foraging in shallow coral flats at any given time. Although they can be challenging to hook, the real test comes in landing them - as they are notorious for destroying flies with their enormous, human-like teeth and powerful mouths. What's more, Triggerfish dart for cover once hooked, making break-offs on sharp coral heads extremely common. Because of their difficulty, Triggers have become a highly sought-after gamefish on Christmas Island.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGiant Trevally\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAlso known as the \"gangsters of the flats\", GTs are the pinnacle shallow-water gamefish for many fly anglers. Although shots for these apex predators can be few and far between, it pays to be ready at a moment's notice, as they can rush a flat in a feeding frenzy in a matter of seconds. The visual eats and the raw power of GTs make them a bucket list species for dedicated saltwater anglers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eOther Species\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eIn addition to the excellent Bonefish opportunities, anglers can have shots at various other reef species such as Bluefin Trevally, Golden Trevally, Milkfish, and many others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eBoats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAll flats fishing is done wading. Large outrigger skiffs are used to transport anglers and guides from flat to flat throughout the day.

We recommend bringing 4 rods: an 8wt for Bonefish and smaller reef species plus one backup, a 10wt for Bluefin Trevally and Triggerfish, and a 12wt for GTs. Your guides will help you rig appropriately for the day's fishing.
