Today we’re releasing our free, 10 page electronic Bonefishing 101 guide, and we think you should grab yourself a copy.
What is Bonefishing 101? It’s a .pdf file that you can download to your computer, and it covers the fundamentals of bonefishing.
- The Ready Position
- Casting on the Flats
- Spotting Bonefish
- Setting the Hook
- Fighting Bonefish
Now why would we go to all the trouble of putting this thing together, and then give it to you for free? Because we’re going to follow it up with a couple of emails with more bonefishing tips, and then we’re going to send you a little bit of information about Andros South, our lodge in the Bahamas. That’s it.
So click right here and type in your email address (which we’ll keep private, of course), and you’ll be well on your way to better bonefishing. Thanks!
Awesome initiatives from you guys! Love the write up in PDF format. Thanks!
Thanks a lot Mervin – really glad you like it.
Thanks for the tips this is great. I notice most people using a single hand rod. Any reason you wouldn’t use a Spey rod? Seems like it would be the perfect setup to deliver the long distance casts without wearing out your arm.
Great question Shane. I think most folks would agree that the ‘sweep’ portion of the spey cast would probably spook bonefish in shallow water. It’s also a little harder to be accurate with a two-handed rod – but then again we’re always looking for new applications for the spey rod.
Nice write up.
Tying for an upcoming trip. How many flies for a weeks’ stay?

Thanks Willi. A few dozen should be plenty – we don’t lose too many!
