Flamingo Lake Reflections

Flamingo Lake was at its stunning best today .... flat calm with a mirror image reflection.

Flamingo Lake was at its stunning best today .... flat calm with a mirror image reflection.

I glanced out at the lake late this afternoon and the reflections in the calm waters took my breath away. I grabbed my camera and didn’t even have a chance to tell Barry where I was going. The ripples and the colours kept changing as the sun started to sink over the hill to the right of our villas at Harbour Club.

The sun started to set and tinged everything with an orangey glow

As I walked along the road the water was churning………….”nervous water” as the fishermen call it. The bonefish were tailing and rippling up the calm on Flamingo Lake.

In the foreground of the photo you can see all the circles and ripples created by tailing bonefish.

I zoomed in on this photo which does show a definite bonefish shape.

For all you bonefishing enthusiasts out there, fishing would have been great this evening. Our guests at Harbour Club Villas can just walk across the road and into the lake. We see bonefish tailing all the time and you can watch from your villa windows.

Bonefishing is great in the lakes by Harbour Club as well as the flats. Come on down and join us.

 

Tight lines!!

Come and see us at Harbour Club Villas ……. the south side of Provo where we are is tranquil and beautiful. Shallow flats and a favourite for our bone fishermen.

Janet’s Bonefish

Wow..........what a beauty. Janet's first bonefish caught out at Bonefish Point on Providenciales

Wow..........what a beauty. Janet's first bonefish caught out at Bonefish Point on Providenciales

Grinning from ear to ear, one of our guests at Harbour Club Villas shows off her very first bonefish. Apparently it was 20 inches long and weighed 4 lbs 5 ozs. It took out about 120 feet of line on the second run. Janet sighted the bonefish about 30 feet away and cast right infront of it. The fish took the fly gently and made at least six runs. On the last run, the bonefish turned 180 degrees and headed straight towards her. She frantically had to try and wind the line back in so as not to lose the fish.

Catch and release id the name of the game

Now I know why they call bonefish the "silent grey ghost of the flats"

The Turks and Caicos Islands have some of the most spectacular ocean flats where you can wade and bonefish.
See you in the Turks for your next bonefishing vacation.

Bonefishing

A Dad and his son were out this afternoon wading Flamingo Lake in search of bonefish

A perfect day for bonefishing in Flamingo Lake right infront of Harbour Club Villas. I saw the entire family, Mom, Dad and two kids out in the lake. Only Dad was trying to fish but he was holding his little son by the hand most of the time. None the less they seemed to be having lots of fun.

Just steps from your villa door and you can be fishing in minutes. Grab your rod and go when you want to go. This week, our fishermen have caught some 3-4 pound bonefish and Arthur caught his first bonefish ever!! Barry gave him a secret tip and the next thing we knew, Arthur was smiling from ear to ear as he related the story of catching his first bonefish in Flamingo Lake. 

Come on down and do some flyfishing for bonefish. We’ll send you to some great spots whether for bonefishing or just lazing on a beautiful beach.
See you soon

Taylor Bay

Taylor Bay is one of the most idyllic spots on the south side of Providenciales………..shallow water for a long ways out and hardly a soul on the beach. It’s a great spot for families with young kids because the water is generally calm and only inches deep. You can wade out for a long, long ways before it gets deeper.  We make sure to tell all our guests to pack up a picnic lunch, head to Taylor Bay and spend the day just lazing in the water. Bonefishing here can be good too. See you there????

Can you see the two fishermen?

I took this photo from the boat out at SW Bluff by Osprey Rock looking towards the flats and beaches edged by the shoreline.

This is a favourite area for bonefishing with a vast expanse of flats to wade and fish.
Chrissie and Thane from Florida spent their honeymoon at Harbour Club Villas and here’s their photo of Thane and his bonefish caught right by Osprey Rock.
Nice catch.......bonefish on the line!

Thane and Chrissie were out most of the day enjoying the water, snorkeling, fishing and visiting all our favourite spots and for honeymooners…….this area is just perfect .
Love is in the air at this secluded and picturesque beach.

If you are thinking of a great honeymoon, tropical island paradise, come to Provo in the Turks and Caicos.

Bonefishing is great on the flats of Providenciales

Here’s a close up of a bonefish. To be honest, we never knew what a bonefish was let alone what it looked like!! Our guest at Harbour Club Villas caught this beauty out on the flats. Flyfishermen will really enjoy wading the flats in search of bonefish. Often you see them tailing in the lake infront of our villas.  We’ve had guests run down from the villas, cast and catch them right from the road. Come and enjoy the great bonefishing to be had in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The south side of Providenciales has endless fishing flats where you can wade and bonefish. Guests have been seeing and catching some pretty big bonefish. It’s all catch and release and pound for pound , these bonefish give fisherman a pretty good fight. If you want to fish and you have family that doesn’t……..no worries as we can send you to some great spots where everyone will be happy. Tight lines!!!

Today was a flat calm day and the ocean showed not a ripple. I sent one of our guests to the bonefishing flat in the photo just a short ways down the road from our villas.  He spent part of the afternoon wading in search of bonefish. When the sun sets on the south side of Providenciales, it’s a good opportunity for a photo. You have to be on the beach early though as the sun goes down at 5:20 or so. Hope to see you enjoying some of our fabulous sunsets soon.
