Bair’s Lodge Fishing:Andros has been a name synonymous with the biggest fish, and South Andros has built a reputation over the years as being the location to try for a 'giant'. Names like Grassy Creek, Deep Creek, Little Creek, the Water Cays and Curley Cut Cays are intrinsically linked to sight fishing for some of the world's largest bonefish. Ideally situated midway between the South Bite and Curly Cut Cays, Bair's Lodge accesses some of the most remote flats, while also providing many sheltered locations irrespective of wind direction. Since the early 90's Bair's has become highly regarded as providing the best fishing South Andros has to offer. The lodge has also come to represent the bench mark in terms of quality guiding, delicious food, comfortable accommodations and courteous hospitality.
Bair's Lodge fishes primarily for bonefish with occasional tarpon and permit. Other species encountered include barracuda, jacks and several types of snapper. Offshore fishing can be arranged seasonally for billfish species, wahoo, tuna, and dorado. Ideally located to access Deep Creek, Little Creek, and the famous West side and Southern Cays, the lodge enjoys some of the most under-fished flats in Andros. The boats are docked right by the lodge, with easy access to the flats. Bair's Lodge is a strictly CATCH AND RELEASE fishery. Fly shop fully equipped with flies, rods, reels, lines, selected items of flats wear and local crafts.
