Saltwater Flies

Prepare for flats, inshore, and offshore fly fishing with saltwater flies designed for bonefish, permit, tarpon, redfish, striped bass, and other powerful species. Explore shrimp, crab, baitfish, popper, and attractor patterns built for demanding conditions and varied presentations.

➤ Choose the Right Saltwater Fly

The right saltwater fly depends on the target species, available forage, water depth, clarity, and fishing conditions. Shrimp and crab patterns are effective across many flats fisheries, while baitfish patterns and poppers provide versatile options for larger predators.

Consider fly size, weight, profile, color, hook strength, and sink rate. Carrying a range of lightly weighted, heavily weighted, and unweighted patterns will help you adjust to different depths, currents, and presentation requirements.
