When fishing for St. Francois Bonefish we suggest you follow these guidelines. When choosing the color of the fly, it’s best to try and match the bottom coloration as closely as possible. If tying your own flies, do not overdress them. St. Francois bonefish prefer sparsely tied patterns in size 4. If you are fishing in shallow water or where the fish are tailing, try sparsely dressed or un-weighted patterns like the Lefty’s H2O, since it can typically be presented in a subtle manner. When fishing in deeper water flies up to size 2 can be used with heavy lead or nickel dumbbell eyes.

We suggest that you take a minimum of five dozen flies for the week with the majority in size 4 and the balance in 6’s and 8’s. Include flies with lead eyes, bead chain eyes, and some flies that are un-weighted. This will allow you to fish flats of various depths most effectively.
