Bonefish
Flyfishing and light tackle sight fishing for Bonefish on the pristine backcountry and ocean flats surrounding Key West.
Bonefish on FlyKnown to many anglers as the "ghost of the flats" or the "gray ghost", the Bonefish is respected by many as the worthiest of opponents on the Florida flats. They are known for their wariness, neurotic personalities, lightening speed and natural camouflage that makes them nearly impossible to see. It's common for a just hooked Bonefish to spool off 125 yards of line, leaving you in awe of its intense speed. Before you have a chance to regroup, it's off again on its second run.
Bonefish Flys
Bonefish scour the flats bottoms in search of their favorite meal of crustaceans. They roam the shallowest of flats, generally 6 inches to a couple of feet deep, making wading for them an exciting challenge and an excellent chance to cool off on a warm day. In the Lower Keys, their weight ranges anywhere from 4 to 12 pounds; a perfect size to challenge an 8 or 9 weight fly outfit or 6 to 10 pound spinning setup.
