carpflyguy 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2016 I'm liking that squid! How long is the total fly? If thats a 6/0 hook it's gotta be pretty good sized. I've been messing around with squid patterns lately but they all seem to be too hefty for the 8 wt. Time for a 12 wt I guess! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Saarinen 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2016 Squid is 10" & a little bit of weight from all the UV resin helping hold the 15mm eye's on! Not sure about a 8wt, but 9 & up for sure! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Li'lDave 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2016 Adam, go sparse with your bonefish flies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2016 -great looking bonefish bugs.... and if you're planning a trip make sure to do them in more than one size for the same pattern. Some days a smaller or larger version is all that's needed if you get a refusal (or the size fly - particularly sink rate.... isn't what's needed for the conditions you're facing).
