Cosmoledo Atoll in the Indian Ocean belongs to the Aldabra Group, which is one of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles. The atoll is located about 1000 kilometers southwest of the main island Mahé. About 38 kilometers southeast of Cosmoledo Atoll is Astove Island. Cosmoledo has a length of 14.5 kilometers and a width of 11.5 kilometers. The total land area of the atoll is only 5.2 square kilometers, and the area of the lagoon is 145 m2.

An exclusive trip to this extraordinary region is planned for the week of the new moon in February 2027, for which there are currently still a few places available.

Cosmoledo is the most coveted fly-fishing destination for targeting Giant Trevally on the flats with a fly. There's truly no better place for it.

Upon arriving at Cosmoledo, one feels like they've stepped into paradise on Earth. A true Robinson Crusoe sensation. Untouched nature, exquisite flats, crystal-clear waters, and an unparalleled abundance of fish.

In addition to Giant Trevally, one can catch Bonefish, Bluefin Trevally, Snapper, Barracuda, Yellow Fin Tuna, Milkfish, Grouper, and Permit. A genuine dream come true for any fly angler.

    It's important that the fly lines are suitable for tropical conditions, as it will be warm in these regions. Rio and Scientific Angler offer a good selection of suitable lines. Bring at least 2 spare lines for GT and one for Permit!

    Giant Trevally: The most important lines are Floating lines. However, it's also important to have a full Sink line with you, as fishing in deeper water is necessary.

    Permit and Trigger: Choose a Floating line that matches the rod class.

    Bonefish: Choose a Floating line that matches the rod class.

    Leader material: Fluorocarbon or Nylon

    Giant Trevally and other predators: 100 lbs
