Description

One of our house favourites, largely owing to the brilliant name which has seen it repeatedly make it into the best sellers since it's introduction in 2011. The pattern itself has proven to be highly effective. An essential pattern for targeting flats species such as bonefish and permit but also great with bread and butter species such as flathead, bream and snapper. Size: 4

Field Notes

This is a saltwater fly pattern designed for flats fishing, especially when targeting bonefish and permit. It can also be used for other inshore species like flathead, bream, and snapper when fish are feeding on shrimp or small baitfish. Fish it with short strips and pauses near sand flats, edges, and shallow current seams.

Pros

  • Effective flats shrimp imitation
  • Versatile for multiple saltwater species
  • Compact size 4 pattern

Cons

  • Fly-specific presentation required
  • May be less visible in very dirty water
