Why ALISTAIR wants to visit this destination
Since first hearing about the fabled pancake flats of Los Roques, this destination has been high on his bucket list. This spectacular Caribbean archipelago offers some of the finest saltwater fly fishing in the world, with extensive shallow flats, crystal-clear lagoons and an abundance of bonefish, alongside opportunities to target permit and tarpon. The variety of fishing, from wading pristine white-sand flats to exploring remote islands and lagoons by boat, makes it an incredibly exciting destination for any saltwater fly angler. Alistair is looking forward not only to the fishing, but to sharing the wider experience with the group – enjoying the laid-back Caribbean atmosphere, beautiful surroundings and the unique character of this remarkable corner of Venezuela.
