This is a great looking fly. I have been tying different sorts of Bonefish flies now for almost 20 years and this one is right up my alley. Well done buddy.

[@Eric.Estrada]

Thanks for watching! Let me know if you end up tying a few and catching bones on it. It’s been very effective for me over the past decade and a half.

Glad you liked it!

[@thomastuorto9929]

Nice tie, I always wonder why tiers don't spin the rotary vise & apply it by hand like when putting on the brush material. Any reason why?

[@coleholbrook2111]

Looks like i know what i'll be whipping up for the next trip down 🔥🔥 homie🙏

Going to key west in July. Would love to know if you have any recommendations on flies for the area.

[@ashsahcash]

Great video ill take some of them to Christmas island with me in November thanks again

[@Eric.Estrada]

Awesome! let me know how they work out for you!

[@ericramos1423]

Works in Hawaii. Just used a brown Sharpie to bar the tail

[@Eric.Estrada]

haha nice! I sometimes add the bars myself depending what part of biscayne bay I plan to fish.

Glad you like it, man!

Good Stuff

[@starbrass15]

What part of Biscayne Bay is that? Nice video btw I have to try those flies!

[@sjohnson4882]

Nice tie.

[@matthewcopeland6654]

Great vids. Im needing guidance on where to wade and flyfish around miami or south. Guidance?

[@joshskinner4883]

figure 8 is the term for that cross pattern for the eyes

[@tonys9063]

That's awesome, I thought I was the only one that liked lowriders and flyfishing

[@Eric.Estrada]

Haha, yeah man. I'm a Lowrider painter turned fish artist. haha You can see some more of my lowrider work on IG at @SprayingTheKandy

[@arnoldmarkowitz750]

Eric, have you tied this with a full loop weedguard, like a bass fly? Seems to me it might shield the hook from grass a little better.

[@Eric.Estrada]

I haven't had a need to, and I'm afraid it might make the picky bonefish more hesitant to eat it, but it might work. I know some guys use similar on the avalon fly.

[@904Coffeeandsurf]

How far from downtown Miami were you and was that spot only accessible through boat? I’m looking to relocate to Miami and would love some wading bone fishing that you don’t need a boat to get to

[@Eric.Estrada]

we were just a mile or two away from downtown. Accessible by foot.

[@Dressagevids]

nice one,,

[@Eric.Estrada]

Thanks.

[@seanbenson3764]

What camera do you use to film the actual fly tying POV

[@Eric.Estrada]

The up close shot? It's a Nikon D800E with a 105mm Macro lens. I'm likely going to do a video just about my camera gear that I use when we go on a fishing trip, and likely to show how we film the fly tying stuff. I have upgraded my gear quite a bit in the last 8 months so I should be pumping out some fresh new videos here shortly.

[@AnimalBro]

nice, i just did a carp fly fishing vid

[@Eric.Estrada]

Sweet, I'll make sure to check it out.

[@ashsahcash]

iw will thank you

[@user-fr7wu5px5m]

hey Eric, don't you find these B10S Stingers to be huge for the size designation? Love this fly!

[@Eric.Estrada]

I don't, cause all I ever use is Gamakatsu hooks. haha But the sizing I recommend in the B10s Stinger is what I recommend for the fly in particular. I used to use tiemco's and mustad hooks, but I've had far better results with the Gamakatsu hooks.

[@jraygolf]

Yeah I gotcha. I’m getting some heat from other subs that think the Stinger is a tad weak for tarpon, even juve poons. I’ve tied up a bunch of your Finn Raccoon Tarpon flies and this bonefish fly for an upcoming trip to Tortola. Feeling confident. Great channel, keep it up!

[@maverick5785]

Great video. Trying to get into fly fishing. I live in miami and paddle board fish I take off from dearing estate and paddle to chicken key. I caught my first ever bonefish there on a paddle tail and since then I’ve been looking for a nice fly setup. Andy suggestions also what the shop you go to for your stuff. Thanks for all the great content keep up the good work

[@Eric.Estrada]

Definitely go to JD Outdoor Adventures for all your fly needs. Nautilus reels is my choice of reel, I like Renegade for the rods.

[@maverick5785]

Thanks

[@maverick5785]

What fly line do you like to use?

[@Eric.Estrada]

@@maverick5785 I been using Cortland's Tropic Series fly lines with great results.

[@miguelgoizueta7103]

Erick, I'm an old fly fishing guy that wants to find a place that I can wade in and try for Bones....Any suggestion ???

[@hung5763]

Titusville Florida

[@fredlevy-tq1lr]

Can it be tied without weed guard

[@Eric.Estrada]

It can, but I don't recommend it. It'll get hung up on grass often.

[@miguelgoizueta7103]

No eyes or, bead chain are?

[@Eric.Estrada]

the beadchain are the eyes.

[@MillonDollarRound]

Wonk..

[@Eric.Estrada]

Where they do that at, though?

[@miguelgoizueta7103]

Is your fly without eyes...???

[@Eric.Estrada]

It has beadchain eyes on it. But i don't use the mono eyes on it. I have found that it is not necessary. Fish will eat the fly with or without it. I like to simplify the tying process and only use what is necessary.

[@seanfalconer7182]

Man. I looked through all of comments and didn't see a single CHiPs reference... ...my disappointment is immeasurable, and my life is ruined. 😔
