fishing Saltwater Fly-fishermen can hone their skills on Andros and team up with kindred anglers and a world-renowned expert, when Al Caucci brings his Fly-fishing Clinics to Small Hope Bay Lodge. This is the eleventh year in a row that Small Hope Bay Lodge has hosted these popular fishing workshops.
Al Caucci is a fly-fisherman of the highest order, bringing over three decades of experience to his teaching skills. He is co-owner of the Delaware River Club Fly fishing Resort, and owner and director of the Al Caucci Fly-fishing Schools including the Al Caucci Bahamas Bone-fish Schools, which he has been running since 1985.
Al is co-author (with Bob Nastasi) of Comparahatch, Flytyers Color Guide, Instant Mayfly ID Guide, Hatches, and Hatches II. Catskill legend Art Flick said of Hatches that, “It has so much more than all the others that it should be the last word on the subject.” (Trout magazine recently honored Hatches II as one of the 15 most important books of the last 30 years.) Caucci is the creator of the famous “Comparadun” and developer of the comparafly series of patterns with Bob Nastasi.
In his Andros clinics, Al offers hands-on instruction to both novices and experienced fishermen alike. The prey is bone-fish, one of the most exciting light tackle game fish in the world. They are hard to spot, easy to spook, and very powerful once hooked. Catching them on a fly is an art. Learning how with Al is easy. These clinics do not have lengthy seminars or numerous casting clinics. Rather, after one day of critical clinics, fishermen head out to the flats, with instructors by their side. Andros Island has some of the best and most extensive bone fishing flats in the world. The island is literally laced with inland waterways, some of them slicing the island straight through, from east to west.
Trip includes everything: ground transportation, 5 nights and 6 days in oceanfront cottages, 3 gourmet American and Bahamian meals per day, 1 day of fishing clinics, 3 days of guided tutored fishing from modern bone fish skiffs. Advanced fishers have 4 days of guided bone fishing. There’s a FREE open bar, FREE self-guided snorkel trips and much more. Please contact Al Caucci at ancfbn@1acc.com for rate information.
Small Hope Bay Lodge offers the perfect venue for fishermen wanting something more than a fishing camp. Non-fishing companions can enjoy myriad activities, including scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, biking, sailing, nature trails and hot tubbing. The program is open to both anglers and non-fishing spouses.
