Timing Your Fly Fishing for Bonefish & Giant Trevally on Christmas Island
Kiritimati, better known as Christmas Island (or CXI to fly anglers), offers consistently productive fishing year-round. Air temperatures rarely drift outside the low-to-upper 80s°F (27°C), and the water in the lagoon sits comfortably between the high 60s and about 80°F (16-27°C).
While conditions are almost always inviting, a few subtle factors – tides, moon phases, time of day, and wind direction can all make a big difference if you want to maximize your chances.
