  Tetiaroa @ The Fly Shop®
Tetiaroa is temporarily closed due to uncontrollable circumstances.
Part of French Polynesia's Society Archipelago, each island (called "motu" by the natives) on Tetiaroa is surrounded by hard-packed, white sand flats that are easily waded and are the feeding grounds for bonefish, milkfish and three species of trevally (golden, bluefin and giant).
Bonefishing techniques on Tetiaroa are not unlike permit fishing, where a painfully slow retrieve (just enough to keep connected to the fly) or no retrieve at all produces the most takes.
