Fly fishing Ascension Bay: Trip report

Well the fly fishing in Ascension Bay continues to produce permit for our clients. A group of 5 anglers have just returned and had a successful week fishing the Ascension Bay flats. Three permit were landed as well a couple of bonefish approaching the 8-9lb mark and some big barracuda as well. Here's Phil's thoughts on their trip:

Hi Mathew,

Trip was great and we all agreed that overall it was our best trip yet. I have to say the place was ideal being very quiet and off the beaten track (literally !!) and Manuel and his team were excellent hosts.

The weather was not to good on a couple of days but the guides still managed to put us on some fish, and we now know why they say you must be able to cast 40ft into a howling gale to get the most out of the fishing.....!!

Attached are my best fish of the week all caught in one day when out with Manuel. I did have another permit of about 12lb's on the last day and Ellis also caught one earlier in the week about the same size.

Best regards
Phil
