If catching a big bonefish is on your radar, these two great Bahamian lodges should be on your list.
Bair’s Lodge on the east side Andros Island is ideally situated to give access to some of the largest and most varied flats in the world. Andros Island has long been associated with the biggest bonefish and Bair’s Lodge is an ideal base from which to try for a ‘giant’. Abaco Lodge is the only fly-fishing operation tucked inside Great Abaco Island’s renowned Marls region—a pristine swathe of unpressured flats that are home to one of the greatest populations of bonefish in the Bahamas. Ten to 15 fish days are not uncommon, with 200 square miles of prime habitat awaiting anglers.
Although bonefish are the primary target, anglers can also fish for the occasional tarpon and permit. Other species encountered include barracuda, jacks, snook and several types of snapper.
We’ve just received some upcoming availability for early 2026, so act now if you want to secure your spot.
