Description
Fly Type: This is a small, subsurface shrimp/nymph imitation and a powerful attractor pattern, specifically designed for bonefish. The name refers to its puffy body, small size, and high-visibility hot pink color.
Best Suited For: An excellent fly for targeting bonefish and other aggressive saltwater species that are attracted to small, high-visibility patterns. It is a go-to pattern for bonefish and permit.
Best Time to Fish: This fly is effective year-round in tropical climates. The bright hot pink color is particularly productive in murky or off-color water and during low-light conditions like dawn and dusk.
Water Type: A classic saltwater fly, designed for tropical environments.
Best Location: The Bonefish Puff Hot Pink Mini works best when fished on sandy flats, in shallow lagoons, and near mangrove edges where bonefish are known to feed.
Other Value: The key to this fly's success is its combination of a buggy profile and a powerful color scheme. The puffy body gives it a lifelike, buggy appearance in the water, and the mini size is a key feature for targeting wary bonefish. The hot pink color is a strong visual trigger that often provokes a strike, even when fish are not actively feeding. The best way to fish it is with a slow, short retrieve to mimic a scuttling bug, or a dead drift to imitate one being carried by the current.
