Bonefish Flies

Target bonefish on tropical flats with flies designed for subtle presentations in shallow, clear water. Explore shrimp, crab, baitfish, and proven bonefish patterns in a range of sizes, colors, and weights for sand, grass, coral, and mixed-bottom flats.

Choose the Right Bonefish Fly

The right bonefish fly depends on water depth, bottom color, available forage, and how quickly the fly needs to sink. Lightly weighted patterns provide softer presentations in shallow water, while heavier flies help reach fish on deeper flats or in stronger current.

Consider fly size, color, profile, hook strength, and weed-guard requirements. Tan, pearl, olive, pink, and natural shrimp or crab colors are versatile choices, while matching the fly to the bottom can create a more convincing presentation.
