Stalking yellowmargin triggerfish on the flats is all about patience, precision, and a bit of luck. These fish are wary, strong, and love to dig into the coral when hooked—landing one is always a small victory.

Providence Atoll offers some of the best trigger fishing out there, and when it all comes together, it's seriously rewarding.

No, this is not an April Fools' joke.

Catching an Indo-Pacific Permit can be tricky at the best of times. These elusive fish are easy to spook and tend to cautiously inspect even the most well-presented fly. But, as with many things in life, some days are easier than others.

Our good friend and longtime guest Joerg managed 2 Indo-Pacific Permit in two casts. These were 2 of the 5 permit he landed on the day. What an amazing display of just how incredible the fishery at St. Brandon’s is. Well done, Joerg—truly a once-in-a-lifetime day out on the flats!

Big Fish Friday

There’s something truly magical about the Indo-Pacific Permit of St. Brandon’s Atoll—they’re elusive, challenging, and hands down one of the hardest fish to catch on fly. Catching a trophy is a true test of patience, precision, and perseverance, but when it all comes together, it’s a feeling unlike any other.

Ben landed this fin-perfect 15lb permit on the first morning of his 2-week stay with us. The fish ate almost at the rod tip and put up a solid fight with long, powerful runs. After a couple of quick photos, it was released, giving Ben a moment to savor his first Indo-Pacific Permit.
