8 Bonefish Flies You Must Have In Your Box

Today, I answer a question from a listener. “How do I pick a bonefish fly?” I open my bonefish box and go through 8 flies that I would feel unprepared without. We go over the most important quality in selecting a fly; sink rate. I show the different flies and organize them based on sink rate from slowest to fastest. Is it more important to have a variety of different flies or a variety of sink rates? I go over the answer and how I have prepared for trips around the world. You can have a bonefish fly box that will help you to be successful wherever you go.

Brandon Cyr - Growing Up Conch - Key West Flats Fishing Guide

Brandon Cyr is a 4th generation Conch. A Conch is someone born in Key West, FL and there are fewer now than ever. Brandon developed a passion for fishing at an early age and has become one of the best flats guides in Key West.

I originally contacted Brandon to discuss his recent trip to Cuba. However, the Cuba trip took a back seat to his recent marriage proposal on his birthday. We talked permit fishing and tagging bonefish as well. We finally got around to discussing Cuba and he filled me in on an amazing trip.

The Bonefish Rig With Captain Joe Gonzalez

Whatever industry you may be in, it is common to hear of the legends. Those people whose name continues to surface in conversations with other customers or competitors. In the inshore fishing business, Capt Joe Gonzales is one of those people. Despite working 150 miles away from one another, I heard Joe's name and stories on the regular. His reputation precedes him as a professional who might actually have some Bonefish DNA mixed in with his.

Angling Confidence

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about permit, and it’s no secret that permit is my favorite fish. And there’s a reason for that. I was fortunate enough to start guiding in Key West, Florida which is the epicenter of permit fishing. So I found myself in a place where it was the best place to fish for permit but I did not know much about the species at the time.

How To Blind Cast For Bonefish Using A Jig

Have you ever caught a bonefish on a jig where you did not see the bone fish you were just blind casting? Well, a lot of people do that and it is a very, very, very effective way to add a few fish to your days total. I learned this from the king of blind casting for bonefish, Mitch Howell. He has won so many tournaments in the Florida Keys and has scored so many points by using this technique and it is very simple.
