About this fly

The Gotcha Fly is a very easy fly to tie. It is also considered the most effective fly for bonefish. However I find it a great shad fly during the shad run once the water temperatures are in the 60s. Tie up a few in white, chartreuse, Pink, or orange.

What the The Shad Gotcha Fly imitates

Inside the vault every material on this fly opens to its own card, and you can save the fly to your own boxes.
