Bone Appetite

The Bone Appetite, crafted by Umpqua signature tyer Drew Chicone, is a refined flats fishing fly designed to target bonefish and other flats species. Drawing inspiration from the classic Crazy Charlie, Chicone elevated this pattern with modern materials and a more lifelike profile. The Bone Appetite is known for its subtle movement, perfect sink rate, and effectiveness in clear, shallow waters. It has become a go-to fly for anglers chasing bonefish on pressured flats, blending tradition with innovation to meet the demands of discerning fish.

A terrific carp pattern - Target Mud Plumes: In murky or slightly turbid water, look for mud plumes created by carp as they feed. Cast the Bone Appetite just beyond the plume and let it settle into the disturbed sediment. Carp are more likely to accept the fly when it appears to be part of their natural feeding area.
