The Mini Puff – Tying Instructions

How to tie the Mini Puff Bonefish Fly.

We’ve mentioned before that most of the time our bonefish on South Andros aren’t overly picky. However, we’d be lying if we said we don’t encounter our share of spooky bonefish from time to time. After all, they’re still bonefish! For the most part, we like flies that are big and light. However, we’re also…

‘Good’ Weather is Relative

Rain while fishing in Western Alaska.

A question we get asked all the time in regards to our lodges is, “what’s the best time to go fishing in Alaska?” Our standard answer? “Well, it depends..” We’re aware that’s not the one word answer most folks are looking for, but the truth is, we’re really lucky to operate on an incredibly diverse fishery…

Tying With Mono Eyes

How to make mono eyes for fly tying

We’re spinning up a lot of bonefish flies these days, and while our bonefish aren’t overly picky, we still like the challenge of tying flies that best imitate what bonefish like to eat. For the most part, bonefish forage (shrimp, crabs, baitfish, etc.) blend in really well on the flats. Thus, choosing a fly that best…
