Bonefish Critter, Borski's Crab

As tied by: Tim Borski
Great for bonefish in most habitats. Imitates the small crabs bones love. Fish with a strip-and-stop retrieve. Bonefish often hit on the stop, so keep your line tight. Originally designed for Bonefish and Permit, the Bonefish Critter has morphed into a great all around pattern. Has also been proven to be a productive fly for other species, such as Redfish. These flies are tied with lead eyes and a mono weed guard.

Bonefish Scampi

As tied by: Henry Cowen
This is another version of the Crazy Charlie or Gotcha, except the Bonefish Scampi is tied with rabbit strip fur so it has a lot of lifelike movement. Even when at rest on the bottom this fly has movement. Heavy lead eyes help this fly get to the bottom quickly on deeper flats. The Scampi is handy to have when bonefish and permit are in water that averages three to five feet deep.

Bonefish Slider

As tied by: Tim Borski
Noted Florida Keys angler Tim Borski designed this wonderful bonefish fly. Many of Tim's artistic interpretations of crabs, shrimp, and baitfish have become standard patterns for difficult fish. The Bonefish Slider imitates a goby or other small fish that dwell on the flats, and bonefish love 'em!

As the name implies, the Crimp is half crab and half shrimp, and then some! Bonefish, Permit, Redfish love to pin this fly to the bottom and crunch it.

Kwan, Chartreuse
As tied by: Pat Dorsy
The Kwan Fly was invented for the backwaters and flats of South Florida to imitate the mottled blennies and gobies that sport fish prey on. The striped Kwan quickly proved itself in many other waters. The fly was initially tied for bonefish. It quickly proved it's worth on virtually every species of fish in South Florida and on many other flats in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.

Kwan, Tan
As tied by: Pat Dorsy
This is a very effective redfish fly in various conditions. Because of the basic shape of it's body, it makes a good crab/shrimp/gobie/blennie imitation in shallower water. Unlike most crab imitation flies this fly is also productive when stripped as a streamer for blind casting, or fishing to cruising reds.

Mini Krystal Shrimp, Root Beer

A great fly for darker, shall flats. Sometimes bonefish hunt in water that is so sshallow that they can only move when tiny waves wash over them. Their backs can become exposed between waves. These fish are extremely spooky and demand a very stealthy approach. For this work a 6-weight rod and very lightweight flies are often best.

Puff Shrimp, Orange

On a trip to Andros South Bonefish Camp, we drifted up within casting range of a whitish streak of clouded water. It was being caused by bonefish rooting for food buried in the bottom of the shallow flat. Sometimes bonefish hydraulically excavate food organisms from soft silt by squirting jets of water from their mouths. This results in a cloud of debris which drifts with the current, sometimes for many yards. The cloud is called a "Mud". As we slowly approached the mudding fish, I offered a fly box and asked our guide Fredlon what fly to use.

To my surprise he pointed to a pattern which had been introduced to us by Derrick Muschamp on our first bonefish trip to Belize back in 1982, the Orange Puff. The fly was attached to the leader and cast blindly into the whitish cloud. After allowing time for the fly to sink, several jerky strips got a crisp strike. This and several more medium size bonefish fell for the fly in quick succession. When I asked Fredlon what the bonefish thought the Puff fly looked like, he replied with a big grin, "Pink jelly beans, man! Who can refuse them?"
Pink Puff
This is a variation of the fly attributed to Capt. Neil Bohannon which was first tied in the 1970's as the Mini Puff. The original was light pink in color. Our modification using slightly different colors has proven to be even more productive under many situations. Medium weighted with stainless steel bead-chain.
