Fly-Tying Videos from Mars Bay
These Bonefish fly tying videos showcase a few of our favorite patterns for South Andros bonefish. These are the first three videos in a series of videos, including the Gotcha, the Mantis, and the Fitz. These simple, proven patterns are easy to tie and effective on the flats.
Please, bring all the usual suspects. Many fishermen bring 100’s of flies. But if you want to keep it simple, bring these three flies.
The Gotcha
The Gotcha is the gold standard of bonefish flies—simple, effective, and deadly on South Andros flats. If you only bring one fly, this is the one.
The Fitz
Tired of the same old bonefish flies? Meet the Fitz—simple, scruffy, and ugly enough to catch fish.
If you can tie your shoes, you can tie this fly. If not… well, you’ve got bigger problems.
Ververka’s Mantis Shrimp
Buggy, twitchy, and very effective, this classic pattern belongs in every South Andros fly box. Watch the quick tutorial and tie up a few before your trip.
