Looking to send the fisher person in your life to a land so remote that it has possibly never been touched or even fished? The islands of Papua New Guinea are one of the last remaining places on earth. Here, the fishing is outstanding. There are both saltwater and freshwater opportunities to satisfy your dreams. Rock Expeditions under the guidance of Luke Wyrsta offer these "dream trips". They specialize in catch and release fishing in the remote Indo-Pacific. The emphasis is on fishing, not luxury!!!
Lodging is under the stars in tents, native hunts, or under a tarp. This helps keeps the cost down and allows a movement of camps during the week. The saltwater trips are aimed at landing huge Giant Trevally with great opportunities at landing dog tooth tuna, baraccuda, jobfish, mackeral, coral trout, and many others. Papua New Guinea gives the angler the best odds in the world of landing the elusive Napoleon Wrasse!
Fly Fishing, Conventional topwater, and deep jigging are the preferred methods. In all my fishing experience nothing can top having a 80 lbs Giant Trevally explode on your topwater popper! I have fished the waters around Misima Island and can highly recommend the trip.
Freshwater Papuan Black Bass with barramundi being a side catch swim in the countless remote rivers in the jungle in Papua New Guinea. From my experience I have found the fighting ability of the Papuan Black Bass second to no other freshwater species.
Preferred methods are fly fishing and conventional casting near structure. Housing is in native structure or sleeping under the stars. The area is so remote that only a handful of fishermen have ventured into the jungles of PNG to experience this amazing fishery.
