One of the most prolific and successful bonefish patterns of all time. It mimics a small shrimp, it's easy to cast, and when presented properly it has an amazing rate of commitment. This version is weedless with bead-chain eyes, so it suspends in the water column instead of plummeting past the fish.

In stock: #4, #8, #10. (The #6 is currently sold out — the #8 fishes nearly identical in most situations.)

Best for: the one fly you'd bring if you could only bring one.

A rubber-legged shrimp-and-squid hybrid that bonefish eat with confidence on shallow flats. Strip it steadily in front of cruising fish and keep tension so the legs and tail keep wiggling like a fleeing crustacean.

In stock: #4, #6, #8.

Best for: cruising fish on shallow flats — keep it moving.

Henry Cowen's Bonefish Scampi was developed in the mid-1990s in the Bahamas for picky, finicky bonefish, and it's been a flats staple ever since — fished from Belize to Los Roques to the Seychelles. Tied with bead-chain eyes to suspend in the water column.

In stock now.

Best for: picky, finicky bonefish — the everyday #6.

A realistic spawning-shrimp imitation with subtle flash and movement, designed to trigger strikes from picky flats fish. A staple for bonefish and permit — sight-cast it to cruising or tailing fish, or prospect likely water with gentle strips.

In stock: #4, #6.

Best for: pressured fish that want something realistic.

A pattern you can swim or crawl over the flats for bonefish, permit, and triggerfish. The tan color fishes well over sand and light coral bottoms. It comes in weighted and stealth versions, so one pattern covers two of the three weight slots — the #8 Stealth for skinny water, the Weighted #4 and #6 for everyday and deep work.

In stock: #4 Weighted, #6 Weighted, #8 Stealth.

Best for: covering two weight slots with one pattern.

A tiny, semi-translucent shrimp in pearl and pale olive for bonefish feeding on small shrimp — the fly for tailing fish in skinny water where larger patterns spook fish. Fish it with varied short strips on shallow flats.

In stock now. (Pearl/pink #8 also available.)

Best for: tailing fish in skinny water where bigger flies spook fish.

A lightly weighted take on the classic Gotcha, tied sparse and subtle for tailing bonefish in inches of water. The pearl coloring blends with bright sand and marl flats. Land it softly ahead of cruising fish and give it tiny strips.

In stock now.

Best for: tailing bonefish in inches of water.

Designed around matching the actual prey — size, shape, and color — and it shows in the silhouette. A strong second shrimp to the Gotcha when fish want a slightly different profile, in the full #4–#8 range.

In stock: #4, #6, #8.

Best for: a different silhouette when fish have seen every Gotcha.

A raghead-style crab built for permit on the flats of Mexico, Belize, the Yucatan, and Florida — and bonefish eat it too. Lead the fish, let the fly settle to the bottom, and crawl or strip it slowly. White is the clean, bright profile for light sand and clear water; tan is the everyday all-rounder.

In stock: #2, #4, #6 in both white and tan.

Best for: when they won't eat shrimp — change the food type.

A realistic crab built from mottled deer hair and rabbit fur with moving claws, tied for permit, bonefish, and redfish. Land it softly near the bottom and fish it with slow strips and long pauses. The ghost/tan version matches pale sand flats.

In stock: #6. (The #2 is currently sold out.)

Best for: a realistic crab presentation on pale sand.

Developed in the Seychelles, the Alphlexo was designed to be delivered without slapping down like conventional crab bodies — the mesh material allows a quick descent while keeping a realistic crab carapace, with orange innards imitating a spawning crab. When the presentation has to be perfect, this is the crab.

In stock: #2. (The #6 is currently sold out.)

Best for: the technical presentation — no slap, fast descent.
