​The fact that virtually every flats fishing angler in the world has heard of Kiritimati (pronounced Christmas) Island is far from coincidence. Amidst the vast inventory of the world’s saltwater flats destinations, Kiritimati Island is a unique and a natural masterpiece, that magically combines all the elements critical to fly fishing success. Endless hard sand flats fishing, remarkable numbers of cruising bonefish and trevally, and consistent year-round weather await all who visit this unique atoll. Kiritimati Island is part of Kiribati and is within a group of islands known as the Line Islands, it is the largest of all the Kiribati Islands.

Gear recommendations – we provide our anglers with a full gear list and advice including fly selction and fly lines, we can also fully outfit for this trip,  at a discount for anglers coimng on our trips.

Our Fishing Guides are the reason to book with Tie’n’ Fly Outfitters

We proudly follow Bita Kairaoi’s Kiritimati Island Guiding service. Bita himself was trained by the famous late Kiritimati Island Guide Moana T. Kofe.  Moana was reputed to be the greatest guide and the I-Kiribati ‘godfather’ of guiding he was an inspiration not only to his countrymen but also the international anglers who fished with him, a gentleman in the most literal sense of the word and one of the best flats guides to ever put on a pair of wading boots. He has trained Bita and his guides to be great guides, consummate gentleman and a pleasure to be with on the flats, they all speak excellent English and are each outstanding fly fisherman and fly tiers.  Our guides carry radios to communicate with each other and the boats.
