Description

The Borski Bonefish Slider, created by Tim Borski, is a fly fishing pattern that was designed in the 1990s as part of a series of flies intended for the Florida Keys. Living in Islamorada, Florid. Borski developed this pattern specifically to imitate small gobies, which are a primary food source for large bonefish in the area. Additionally, it can be adapted to represent small crayfish when targeting smallmouth bass.

Pro Tip

Adapt to Other Species by Adjusting Retrieve Speed: This fly is versatile and can be effective for a range of species beyond bonefish. For redfish, snook, and striped bass, experiment with faster retrieves, especially in warmer waters, to simulate fleeing baitfish. For species like smallmouth bass, a slower retrieve will better imitate the movement of small crayfish or other bottom-dwelling prey.
