The Fishing at TiamoThe big draw of the Bahamas is the sight fishing for bonefish and South Andros offers some of the best bonefishing in the world. Tiamo has access to an enormous area of unspoilt and barely exploited bonefish flats. The lodge calls on a pool of local English speaking guides who have accumulated many generations of knowledge and experience navigating and fishing the diverse array flats and waterways that interconnect the myriad of islands, creeks and cays. On unguided fishing days you can just as easily be dropped off a mile or so from the lodge and patrol back to Tiamo fishing as you go. If ‘Bigger is better’ then take a day in the comprehensively equipped bluewater boat and tackle all manner of gamefish.
![]() South Andros -The AreaAndros Island is considered to be the largest unexplored tract of land in the western hemisphere, at 100 miles long by 40 miles wide it covers an area of roughly 2,300 square miles. Andros sits in the middle of the Great Bahama Bank and is flanked to the east by The Tongue of the Ocean, a deepwater trough that drops to more than five thousand feet not more than a mile offshore. Along the edge of “the drop” lies the third largest barrier reef in the world.(Hence the wonderful diving and snorkelling available within sight of Tiamo) Andros Island itself is riddled with innumerable tidal creeks and inland flats, all home to an incredible diversity of marine life. This environment has resulted in some of the best, largest and most under-exploited Bonefishing Flats in the world. South Andros has been named the ‘World’s bonefishing capital’ for good reason. The Accommodation at TiamoTiamo has had a dedicated following as a secluded eco-resort for man years. Situated on a private white sand beach all the cottages are within 20 yards of the water. In 2009 Tiamo came under new ownership and underwent extensive remodelling and upgrading. It now offers the levels of service and comfort that ‘non-fishing partners’ would not only happily accept on a ‘fisherman’s holiday’ but will have couples booking repeat trips every year. Each of the cottages is beautifully constructed with sumptuous linen and lashings of Caribbean charm. There are various styles of cottages available ranging from the secluded honeymoon Pool Cottages, complete with private Jacuzzi, to the simple Sunset villas, ideally suited to fishing partners who are likely to spend the majority of the day on the flats. ![]() ![]() Our Testimonials
"It was one of the best holidays i've ever been on and so special to be out there for Christmas with you all. I think the resort is absolutely fantastic and so beautiful" George, "I spent most of my days fishing. I'm an avid fly fisherman, and Andros offers world-class bonefishing. The challenge for me has always been finding a fishing lodge that would allow my non-fishing girlfriend to be as happy as I am for a week. Tiamo is the best I have found in this respect.....We stayed in one of the "Island Breeze" cottages. There are air conditioned cottages as well, but my sense is that the only time you would need AC on the island is May through August. The cottage was small and simple, but very well appointed. It was quiet, cooled by the winds on the island, with a very comfortable king-size bed..." Nick W, Living at TiamoEvery aspect of your stay at Tiamo is designed to ensure that when you leave you feel revitalised in body and soul. A resident and acclaimed chef prepares a heady mix of Bahamian and fusion cuisine and the lodge has an enviable cellar of wines from around the world. The heart of the lodge is the Great Room that looks out onto a infinity pool and the ocean beyond. Relax by the pool with cocktails during the day or enjoy the peace of the oak panelled library in the evening. Non-fishers can depart for a picnic and a day of tranquillity on a secluded and magical white-sand beach. ![]() Saltwater Fishing on South Andros and what To Expect

Background reading for your trip:"Bahamas Fly-Fishing Guide: Updated and Revised" by Stephen Vletas, Kim VletasOur Comments:"The Bahamas is the bonefishing capital of the world- but with so many islands, lodges, and guides, how do you find the lodge that is right for you? The first step is to study Stephen and Kim Vletas’ descriptions of the best operations the Bahamas have to offer." - Fly Fisherman magazine. US customers: Buy at Amazon.com UK customers: Buy at Amazon UK "Bonefishing! [Hardcover]" by Randall KaufmannOur Comments:"Good grief, how good does a book on bonefishing have to be? Those who reviewed this book, either did not read it or do not recognize quality when they see it. No book in the realm of fishing equals this one for accuracy of information, interesting anecdotes, breadth of coverage, and spectacular photography. I have fished one half dozen times for bones in Florida, Mexico and Belize and can eagerly confirm everything included in Kaufmann's book. I am no expert, but I can tell you it's the best book on the subject written. It does contain fly patterns, but I did not expect tying instructions for the flies and the leaders. Those subjects are well covered in much more mundane books and video tapes." - P Carlson 2007 WWMF Advice: The Bahamas is all about Bonefishing and if you want a bible then this book pretty much sums up everything you need to know.

"Fly Fishing for Bonefish" by Chico Fernandez & Aaron J. AdamsOur Comments:"No brand of fly fishing challenges anglers more than stalking bonefish on tropical saltwater flats. This book dissects all the skills needed to catch bonefish by showing you how to find and see bonefish, how to spot feeding and mudding signs, the effects of tide, temperature, and weather on where the fish will be and how it can be spotted. The book gives advice on how to fish cruising or tailing fish, which striping techniques work best, and the best ways to strike and fight bonefish."
