These flies make for the best bonefish fly patterns. No matter where we are chasing bonefish - and we do it all over the planet - these are the bonefish flies we have to have with us on the flats.
When we go on trips to saltwater destinations like Mexico, Belize, Honduras or the Bahamas, the one fly we make sure EVERYONE has is the Gotcha. This is a must-have.
The Long Strip Bonefish fly is designed to imitate the shrimp bonefish feed on for trips to Andros Island in the Bahamas. Big bones love them and little bones usually leave them alone. If you're hunting the big girls, this is it.
You’ll want the Borski Bonefish Slider in your fly box when you’re fly fishing the flats. You can also give them a try in freshwater – throw them at carp or smallmouth bass as a crayfish imitation and you’ll get bit.
Pat Ehlers developed this fly to dominate the saltwater flats of Andros Island in the Bahamas. This will work anywhere there are bonefish and lead eyes are needed.
