Book Private Fly Fishing Water in Hawaii
Hawaii is a saltwater flats destination, home to some of the largest bonefish on earth — known locally as oio — cruising the shallow reef flats of Oahu and the outer islands. Beyond bonefish, the flats and reef edges hold powerful trevally species, from the small, aggressive bluefin and bluefin omilu to the apex giant trevally, or ulua. AnglerPass connects anglers with guided and managed flats access so you can sight-fish Hawaii's hard-bottom flats on the tide.

Fly fishing in Hawaii
What do you fly fish for in Hawaii?
Hawaii is a saltwater flats fishery. The headline species is the bonefish, called oio locally, which runs large here — fish in the 8-to-10-pound class are realistic. Anglers also target giant trevally (ulua), bluefin trevally (omilu) and other hard-fighting reef species.
Are there big bonefish in Hawaii?
Yes — Hawaii is known for some of the largest bonefish on earth. Oahu fish average 3 to 5 pounds and consistently, with realistic shots at fish in the 8-to-10-pound-plus range, which is exceptional by global bonefishing standards.
Is there trout fishing in Hawaii?
No. Hawaii has no meaningful trout fishery — the islands are a saltwater flats destination. The fly fishing here centers on sight-casting to bonefish and trevally on shallow reef and sand flats, typically best on incoming and high tides.
