The World's Foremost Saltwater Gamefish

There is no saltwater gamefish more storied than the bonefish. Whether it be the tropical environments in which they live or their legendary, drag-screaming speed, bonefish may be the perfect fly rod species. 

For many anglers, a successful fly fishing career is not complete without landing one of these "ghosts of the flats."

Chasing Bonefish: Techniques, Destinations, and What to Expect

Fly fishing for bonefish is a sight fishing game — reading subtle signs of a fish's presence, casting accurately to trigger a response from one of the sea's wariest predators. When a bonefish takes, the take is subtle, then the fish is gone, burning line at speeds that shock first-timers. Tackle: a 7- or 8-weight rod, large-arbor reel with disc drag, tropical fly line, and a 9–12 foot fluorocarbon leader.

Front Range Anglers' bonefish destinations span the world's best fisheries: trophy bones in the Bahamas, extraordinary numbers at Christmas Island, large Pacific bonefish in Hawaii, Indo-Pacific specimens at St. Brandon's Atoll, and accessible fishing in Belize, Mexico, Honduras, Cuba, and the Florida Keys. Whether you're a first-time bonefisher or a seasoned veteran, FRA has the right trip for you.
