Bonefish (Practice Catch and Release)
 


Fly Fishing For Bonefish

One of the big three (tarpon, bonefish, permit) in tropical inshore salt, bonefish seek water that is in their comfort range of between 73 and 80 degrees. They move from deeper water onto the flats when conditions are right. Bonefish are extremely skittish and easily spooked, but if your presentation is right, they readily strike flies and are famous for their long runs and strong fight. Sight fishing is the method of choice, you look across the flats and once the fish are located, you cast your fly to just the right spot and wait for the strike. Bonefish are number one in the hearts of many fly anglers. They are not fit for human consumption and average 4-6 lbs. Fish up to 10 lbs. are common.
