Calling all permit chasers!
Arabian Fly Sport Fishing, in the Arabian Sea, on the coast of Oman is an amazing and extremely unique fishery. The outfitters of Arabian Fly are the pioneers of this area and the team that figured out how to target T. Africanus, the rarest of the 4 targeted permit species on Earth. Oman is the only place in the world that they can be targeted on a fly rod. The permit are definitely the main draw for traveling anglers, but Oman’s diverse waters give us the unique opportunity to offer a much wider variety of fishing.
An inshore and an offshore boat, as well as beach fishing, is all available with Arabian Fly. From the skiff, you can target large schools of tailing Africanus (the only place in the world to target them on the fly), dorado, the occasional giant trevally, milkfish, queenfish, bluefish, and pompano, all while drifting along the vast cliff faces or exploring the shallow beaches and secluded bays. You can also choose to target big game in the bluewater, with excellent opportunities to find billfish and dorado along the drop off, or get the blood pumping as you cast to large busting bait balls of tuna. The land based fishing, hiking the beaches, is not for the faint of heart and often requires you to hike into remote beaches. Once there be prepared to run up and down the beach chasing the elusive Indo-Pacific permit (T. Blochii) as they tail in the shallows or casting to large-spot pompano and bluefish and the occasional giant trevally!
