Trips are on Hold due to political instability -Los Roques Fly Fishing – Overview
Los Roques is one of the most famous destination for bonefish in the world. It ranks right along side the worlds elite fly fishing destinations like the Seychelles and Christmas Island. Much easier to get to than the others Los Roques is benefiting from 25 years of National Park status which means bigger and more bonefish now than ever before.
Your vacation begins when you are met by our staff at the Caracas Airport which is actually over an hour away frm Caracas and quite safe. Will will stay at the one of the hotels at the airport in preparation for the eaarly morning flight to Los Roques. After a 35 minute flight you will arrive at your Lodge known as Posada Aricefe.
The guides are ready to go when you are and the flats are 20 minutes to 1 hour away. Los Roques is actually a collection of 48 different islands which are almost all unihabited. We use sea worthy 28 foot skiffs to get to and from the flats. Alll the fishing is by wading. The boat will have a captain who will pick you up when the guide gives teh signal. No need to trudge back to where the boat was anchored , it comes to you.
Bonefish are the main quarry but there are tarpon, snook, barracua, jacks, permt and countless other species that will come to a fly. Los Roques fly fishing – Fly Fishing Heaven style!

Los Roques fly fishing is legendary. There are now more bonefish here than ever before and sizes range from 2-12 pounds. Much bigger than Ascension Bay or Belize and on par with some of the Bahamas. These fish just receive a lot less pressure! All the fishing is wading so you ge more fishing in than fishing from the boat, all the anglers are fishing 100% of the time. Like Christmas Island, this wade only approach saves flats from prop scars and allow both fishermen to be fishing the entire time . We use sea worthy 28 foot skiffs to get to and from the flats. Alll the fishing is by wading.
The boat will have a captain who will pick you up when the guide gives teh signal. No need to trudge back to where the boat was anchored , it comes to you.

Fly List
Tie a few patterns with just the weight of the eyes as a variable 1 with lead eyes, 1 with chain, 1 with small chain, and 1 with no weight or mono eyes just to make sure you have flies for very skinny water all the way to waist deep water. Presentation seems to be much more important than fly selection.
