About these metrics

Notes: Ideal for fishing over white sand flats or large potholes surrounded by turtle grass, this fly is sure to be a go-to when targeting bonefish in these pristine Caribbean flats.

About the fly:

When fishing the flats around any Caribbean island, make sure you have a few of these tied up and ready to go. Bonefish simply can’t resist this shrimp imitation. Thanks to the EP Bunny Brush, this fly boasts plenty of natural, stationary movement—even when not in motion—which means you don’t have to work it as hard to get attention.

The fly’s color blend—peach, soft orange, and subtle hints of olive or brown—perfectly mirrors the crustaceans commonly found in Caribbean waters, offering a lifelike presentation. To help the fly sink quietly and prevent spooking fish, it features a drop bead for weight, allowing you to cast closer to feeding bonefish without disrupting the fish.

The small Krystal Flash feelers add another touch of realism, making the fly appear even more lifelike, while the overall profile is designed to mimic a shrimp’s natural behavior in the water.
