Christmas Island 2023: Bonefish

This is the 4th and last part of my 2023 Christmas Island Trip. Bonefish are most likely the fish you will catch the most on the island. I was most likely spoiled by the fact the island was closed for 3 years before we arrived. The fish were not picky or spooky. I got away tossing 20lb leader with lead eye flies. It wasn't until the very last day they started acting more spooky. Hope you enjoyed these videos as I enjoyed reliving them!

Great action, what a beautiful place! What was the size and color fly that worked for the bonefish. Thank you

[@newflyfishingodyssey]

Thanks. Size 6 orange was the best combo back then.

Nice series of videos on your trip to Christmas Island. May I ask what rod and reels were you using on your 8wt and 11wt? Thanks.

[@newflyfishingodyssey]

Thanks! I have a Orvis H3D with a tibor signature reel. The line was just RIO bonefish. The 11 was a Sage Salt HD with another tibor signature. It had Rio GT line.

Thank you!
