Back on the Flats

Weather Challenges,
Outstanding Fishing

Our trip to Providence started with smooth and trouble-free travel, and before long we found ourselves back in one of the most special places a fly fisherman can experience: out on the flats, surrounded by endless blue water, coral, sand, and the raw wilderness of this incredible atoll.

Unfortunately, the weather during the week was quite changeable. Wind, clouds, and limited visibility often made the fishing challenging. On a place like Providence, good visibility is crucial. Seeing the fish early, reading their movement, and making the right presentation at the right moment can make all the difference. But whenever the conditions improved and we had a window of better light and visibility, the atoll immediately showed its true potential. As soon as we could see properly, the fishing was excellent.

Despite the difficult conditions, it turned out to be a very good week overall. Everyone in the group caught fish, and there were many memorable moments, exciting fights, and beautiful encounters on the flats. We had several GTs over one meter, as well as some great flat slams. The triggerfish fishing was particularly strong this week and provided many technical and rewarding situations where experience, patience, and accuracy were essential.

The largest GT of the week was caught by Christoph, with an impressive fish measuring 111 cm – a fantastic achievement and certainly one of the highlights of the trip. Once again, Providence proved how important experience is on such a demanding fishery. Our group consisted entirely of skilled and experienced fly fishermen, and that was clearly reflected in the results.

CLOSING A CHAPTER

As always, everything was perfectly organized. The operation ran smoothly, professionally, and in a very relaxed way. The food was also excellent and added a lot to the good atmosphere on board. The group got along extremely well, and we shared many laughs, stories, and great days on the water. It was exactly the kind of trip one hopes for.

This week was also special for another reason: it was the last time Providence was fished from the catamaran. From 2027 onwards, Providence will be operated with the Maya Dugong as the mothership. While we can look forward to new possibilities, I think all of us will miss the catamaran. For many years, it was a familiar and special part of these adventures.
