Description

Sand eels shoal in very large numbers, but are seldom seen during the day in the shallows as they lie buried in the sand, away from predators. They first appear during the evening, when they come out to feed through the night. But despite there nocturnal habits sand eel patterns can be fished around the clock the whole year. As you would expect, ours are tied on premium hooks for maximum confidence. In this case its the Tiemco 811s, a hook we use throughout our Saltwater range.

Field Notes

This is a saltwater sand eel fly pattern meant to imitate a key forage baitfish. Fish it around the clock near beaches, flats, or other areas where predators are feeding on sand eels, using strips or a steady retrieve to suggest a fleeing baitfish.

Pros

  • Realistic sand eel profile
  • Premium saltwater hook
  • Useful year-round

Cons

  • Requires fly-fishing gear
  • Best when fish are keyed on baitfish
