BONEFISH GOTCHA

Description

The Bonefish Gotcha is one of the most iconic and effective patterns for targeting bonefish on tropical flats. Designed to imitate small shrimp or baitfish, this fly features a slim, pearl or tan body with subtle flash, bead chain eyes, and a wing that provides natural movement. Its lightweight build ensures a soft presentation, preventing spooked fish in shallow, clear water.

The Gotcha is particularly effective when stripped slowly across sandy or grassy flats, mimicking the natural motion of fleeing crustaceans. Its versatility allows it to perform well in various flats environments, from the Bahamas to Belize and beyond.

This pattern is a must-have in any saltwater fly box, as bonefish consistently respond to its lifelike profile and subtle sparkle. Whether you’re a seasoned flats angler or a first-time bonefish hunter, the Bonefish Gotcha is a reliable, confidence-building fly that produces results in even the most technical conditions.
