FANNING ISLAND HOSTED FLY FISHING TRIPS

THE BEST WEEKS TO VISIT

FIND YOUR WEEK ON FANNING ISLAND

Join an Isolation Outfitters hosted fly-fishing trip to Fanning Island, with carefully selected dates, experienced hosts and local guides who know the atoll’s flats and channels. Our groups normally comprise no more than six anglers, giving each departure a personal feel and time to explore this remote Pacific fishery.

Choose a Fanning Island hosted week or a combined two-week expedition that includes Christmas Island. Each departure has its own dates, itinerary and inclusions, with opportunities to target bonefish, giant trevally and other saltwater species. Browse the trips below to compare programs and find the right fit for your experience, interests and available time.

For a closer look at the fishery, seasons and island experience, explore our Fanning Island fly-fishing destination guide. If you’re unsure which departure to choose, contact us—we’ll help you work through the options. We have other full moon and new moon dates available for 2027 and 2028.
