    Nosy Ankao

    Nosey Ankao is the largest of a five island archipelago with flats that are still largely unexplored and blue water fishing that has to show its full billfish potential. On this remote and untouched atoll, the discerning fly fisherman will walk the beaches and flats on the lookout for trevally species and barracuda. Offshore, fly fishing or spinning and popping for the larger pelagic species will enable the anglers to target marlin, sailfish, barracuda and tuna.
