Bonefish Bitters - Umpqua Fly
Details
An absolute shop favorite of our shop and our friends down in Turneffe Flats. We have found this fly in olive works great for permit and the amber for big bonefish. Fish it in slow strips, or as Craig Matthews says, "sometimes the best retrieve is no retrieve."
