BONEFISH Flies
Size #10
to #6
A variety
of bonefish flies work well at Turneffe,
and the best patterns vary somewhat from
day to day. Small flies (6's, 8's, and
some 10's) work best on our shallow,
wadable flats.
Bonefish
flies for the ocean side flats at
Turneffe should be unweighted or very
lightly weighted. These bonefish are
often in a few inches of water and
weighted flies hang up too easily.
 On
deeper flats and particularly around the
mangrove islands in the center of
Turneffe, larger, weighted flies are
preferable. Small crab patterns also
work well here.
Some of
the better Bonefish patterns for
Turneffe are the following:
