A Special Destination
The great Lefty Kreh has described Christmas Island as "the best Bonefish fishing on the planet..." Come decide for yourself. This is one of the most famous fly fishing destinations in the world and this is your chance to sign up for this trip with a host that is going to travel alongside you for the entire week.
Anglers will spend most of their time stalking Bonefish, with Giant Trevally or "GT's" being the trophy species. GT's are amazing fish, and catching a fast cruiser on the open flats that is spotted and sight cast to is a very special catch. You will never forget it.
On our trips we don't use chum to lure the fish in close. We work hard and try to catch these brutes "fair chase". Catch numbers of these beasts are not high and we want to keep expectations realistic for every angler that comes along. All anglers will get shots at big GT's while wading the flats. Not everyone will get one however... but when you do it's a big party that night! We celebrate the victories together.

The Red's Hosted Experience
A Red's team member will travel with you and help make your experience the most efficient, rewarding, and best adventure we can. We're there to aid the lodge in coordinating ground transfers, assigning guides, meeting angler expectations, and helping problem solve should any challenges arise. Your host will mentor as necessary, work with the lodge's head guide to coordinate guide pairings, and make group wide decisions that best serve all Red's customers.
Christmas Island is located about 3.5 hours flight south of Honolulu, about 3.5 degrees north of the equator. This is a long ways from anywhere and this makes it a big trip! Having a Red's host along for the ride helps insure that you can get advice throughout the trip and a spokesman is working on your behalf to help insure that you are safe, informed, and have a productive experience. Let our team help you plan the trip of a lifetime to Christmas Island.
SINGLE ANGLERS WELCOME
Single anglers are always welcome on our worldwide hosted fly fishing trips, and we take great care in pairing guests to ensure a fun and rewarding experience. We’ll match you with a roommate and assign you a fishing partner for each day on the water, sometimes keeping pairs consistent and other times rotating to give everyone a well-rounded experience. Many solo travelers join our trips because we have a strong track record of fostering a great group dynamic, mixing anglers and guides to create an enjoyable atmosphere for all. While we strive to accommodate individual preferences, flexibility is key, as our primary goal is to rotate guide assignments and maximize opportunities for every guest. We simply ask our single anglers to embrace the adventure, go with the flow, and enjoy the incredible fishing!
