FAQ
What makes the Andy Smith Bonefish fly effective for bonefish and permit?
The fly’s design mimics ground-up coral, which is natural to the flat fish habitat, making it highly attractive to bonefish and permit.
Which size is better for shallow waters?
Size 4 with bead chain eyes is better suited for shallow waters as it is less likely to spook fish.
Can I use the size 2 fly in shallow water?
Lead eyes in size 2 make it sink faster, so it’s not ideal for shallow waters where fish may spook. Use with caution.

This fly worked well on a recent trip to the flats. The size 4 with bead chain eyes stayed natural in shallow water and attracted several bonefish. Easy to tie and looks realistic.
Victor Lawrence –
Fished it with a permit in deeper water and it held well. The lead eyes on size 2 helped it sink faster, which was perfect for the bottom structure.

Great detail and movement. Used it in a coral flat environment and saw multiple strikes. The design matches the natural substrate well.
