オレンジクリスマスアイランドボーンフィッシュ

Tied this on a hunch during a windy morning on the flats and the bonefish were on it before I could even settle into a rhythm. The bright orange body stays visible in that murky shallows water where darker flies just disappear. Only gripe is I wish I'd bought three instead of one.

Tied one on for a quick salt session and the bright orange body was spot-on against the white sand, the fish turned on it almost immediately. Cast it into a decent chop and it still tracked true without twisting my leader. It's earned a permanent spot in my box.

First time on the flats last week and this fly drew strikes where my others didn’t—the orange really pops even in that pale, sandy water. It cast well on my 8-weight and held up through a dozen hookups without losing its shape. Definitely tying more of these.
