The types of fish you can expect to see while salt water fly fishing in Andros:

Bonefish

Andros Island boasts one of the most robust populations of bonefish in the world. These elusive “gray ghosts of the flats” are known for their strength, speed, and impressive fighting ability. With an average size of 3 to 6 pounds and occasional giants reaching 10 pounds or more, every encounter with a bonefish is an exhilarating challenge.

Tarpon

Andros Island is also home to tarpon, a prized game fish and one of the most exciting species to pursue on a fly rod. Tarpon can reach impressive sizes and are famous for their aerial acrobatics when hooked. Hooking into a tarpon while saltwater fly fishing is a thrilling experience that requires skill, precision, and finesse.

Permit

Permit are another highly sought-after species among fly anglers in Andros. Known for their wariness and challenging behavior, permit are often considered the “holy grail” of saltwater fly fishing. These fish are selective feeders and present a unique and rewarding challenge for those who successfully target and catch them on a fly.

Barracuda

Barracuda are a common sight in the flats and mangroves of Andros Island. These aggressive predators can offer explosive strikes and impressive runs when hooked on a fly. They are known for their speed and ferocity, providing an exciting and intense fly fishing experience.

Snook

Although not as prevalent as bonefish and tarpon, snook can also be targeted while saltwater fly fishing in Andros. These powerful and cunning fish are known for their ambush-style attacks and strong fights. Catching a snook on a fly rod is a rewarding accomplishment for any angler.

Mangrove Snapper

Mangrove snapper can be found in the mangrove-lined creeks and channels of Andros Island. While they may be smaller in size compared to other species, they make up for it with their willingness to take a well-presented fly and their strong fighting abilities.
