The guides of Soul Fly Lodge are not only experts at targeting bonefish and permit on the fly in The Berry Islands of The Bahamas—they’re guardians of the flats. “Fishing guides in The Bahamas are by nature protectors,” says lodge co-founder Kyle Schaefer. “They defend against poachers and illegal netting, but also from reckless development and other threats to critical habitat.”
At Soul Fly, every adventure pairs world-class fly fishing on Great Harbour Cay with a deep respect for flats ecosystems and species—an ethos carried forward through the lodge’s Silver Sponsorship of Bonefish & Tarpon Trust.
“For Bahamian guides, the environment is more than fishing—it’s life, culture, everything,” Schaefer shares. This World Tourism Day, we celebrate flats fishing as a model of sustainable eco-tourism—and the guides whose stewardship sustains it for anglers and communities alike.
