The Maldives are considered one of the world’s best fly-fishing destinations, and it is well known that anglers who like to fish in shallow water will have a great time here. For instance, the Maldives are known for their flats and reefs. The islands have numerous flats which hold bluefin trevally, triggerfish, giant trevally, and bonefish. The flats are lush with vegetation that attracts baitfish such as sardines or mullet which feed on small crustaceans found in shallow waters. These fish provide an excellent food source for predators such as snapper or barracuda which may be encountered while fishing this type of habitat.
