flies

Bonefish will be found primarily on the flats. Since water on the flats ranges in depth, a wide selection of weights must be incorporated into the flies. From no eye, to bead chain, to lead eyes, it is important tohave each type of flytied in many different weight categories. Make sure to have some of your flies with weed guards for grass flats. Your guide will be able to help you select appropriate flies for the different water types and species. Since there are several food sources available in the Bahamas, a well-stocked fly box is a necessity.
