It’s a good idea to tie the Kwan if you’re fishing the Florida Keys, Biscayne Bay, Andros.. or anywhere there’s bonefish and potentially large bonefish.

They are exceptionally good tailing bonefish flies. In fact they’re our favorite tailer and super shallow water flies for South Florida.

They always want to land softly and track straight. They’re a bit too big to ignore and they look just like a common shrimp sitting on the bottom.

Bonefish aside, show a Kwan to tailing redfish and see what happens…
