About This Trip:
"Join RIO Products Fly
Developer and Signature Tyer Brita Fordice as she hosts a fly
fishing trip to one of the most iconic saltwater destinations in the world. As
an added bonus, Brita will provide fly tying materials, vices, and step-by-step
instruction for any guests interested in tying and fishing custom fly patterns
for the CXI fishery. Or if you have your own vice and materials, bring them
along. There’s no greater thrill than catching a bonefish on a pattern you
hand-tied the night before—other than perhaps catching a GT on a pattern you
hand-tied the night before. Brita is an expert tyer with over a decade of
experience and is responsible for many of RIO’s most productive patterns. Ask
Brita what her favorite pattern is for CXI and you’ll be sure to receive a long
list of excellent flies that she’s personally tested in the same waters you’ll
be fishing. This will be a fun, relaxing trip for anglers of all levels
to enjoy themselves, the camaraderie of other anglers, and improve their
skills as anglers and tyers.”
About Christmas Island:
Amidst the vast
inventory of the world’s saltwater flats destinations, Christmas Island is a
unique and natural masterpiece that magically combines all the elements
critical to fly fishing success. Endless hard sand flats fishing, remarkable
numbers of cruising bonefish and trevally, and consistent year-round weather
await all who visit this unique atoll. Fly fishing guides at Christmas Island
Outfitters have been handpicked by head guide Bita Kairaoi for their level of
experience, skill, calmness under pressure, and instructional abilities. Each
day anglers will depart via truck or catamaran for the day’s flats fishing.
Virtually all fly fishing entails sight casting to fish while wading in shallow
waters. Christmas Island’s plentiful bonefish average two to three pounds,
although on any given week opportunities for larger bonefish in the five to ten
pound class may be available.
