CHRISTMAS ISLAND
Trip Description
Your fly fishing adventure to Christmas Island begins in Honolulu where you board the early morning flight to Christmas Island. The trips run Tuesday to Tuesday because there is only one plane per week that services Christmas Island. It is about a three hour flight by 737 before we finally touch down on the old military airstrip. As you circle the runway you will see the flats that have made fly fishing on Christmas Island so famous. Someone from the lodge will meet you after you have gone through customs for the 20 minute drive to the lodge. You may have time to walk out to the flats near the lodge or you can get organized for the six very full days of fly fishing ahead of you. It won't be long until you hear that reel screaming as the backing disappearing from your reel at 22 miles per hour! We are the only lodge that includes unlimited guided fly fishing in their package. Add to this personal service - no charge offshore fishing and it is clear why people who have been to both lodges prefer the Mini Hotel and Ed Blank's Adventures on the Fly.
Each day veteran guides will lead you to the best fishing the island has to offer. You and the guides board the catamaran each day around 7:30 am and start out into the lagoon. There are some flats within walking distance of the lodge but we will spend most of our time on the flats that are accessible exclusively by boat. You and your guide will be dropped on the up current end of the flat and the boat will actually head for the other end. You will encounter most fish as they swim towards you into the current. This allows you to cover the most water without having to backtrack with the current to get back to the truck or boat. Maybe you want to hunt for the big bonefish on the edges of a flat with a nice drop-off or you'd rather stalk fish in ankle deep water, customizing the places you would like to fish is a unique option found only at the Mini-Hotel Kiritimati. Few bonefish packages let the customers design their own trips; ours is an exception to the rule.
Top five reasons to book your Christmas Island fly fishing vacation with us instead of the big lodge:
1. Unlimited fishing time
2. Offshore fishing at no extra Charge
3. We deliver you to the flats by boat - not pickup truck
4. We are located at the boat launch not 20 minutes away
5. No set rotation of flats, we pick the best ones at the best times ( tides) for those flats, just because its Tuesday doesn't mean it is a good flat for that tide and that day!
6. Unlimited Fly Fishing (just in case you didn't see that the first time - would you rather fish 11 hours or just 7-8?) Fly fishing Christmas Island with Ed Blank's Adventures on the fly - A fly fishing vacation to Christmas Island, bonefishing mecca of the world
