Description

The Bonefish Junk, crafted by renowned fly tyer Charlie Craven, was developed after multiple trips to South Andros in the Bahamas, where Craven sought to create a pattern that combined the most attractive elements for bonefish and their guides. This fly features a larger profile, incorporating bright spots of orange or pink and rubber legs to enhance movement, effectively mimicking the shrimp and crustaceans that bonefish favor. The Bonefish Junk has become a favorite in the Bahamas, from Freeport to South Andros, due to its realistic presentation and enticing action.

Pro Tip

Sand Integration: Before casting, rub the Bonefish Junk fly lightly in the wet sand of the flats you're fishing. This picks up local sediment particles, subtly altering the fly's texture and scent to match the immediate environment, making it more convincing to discerning bonefish.
