Especial de la Isla de Navidad

Held up great in a steady 15 mph crosswind when my usual patterns were getting pushed around. The weight and profile are just right for getting down to bonefish on the flats. Ordered a half dozen more.

Tied a few of these on before heading out, and the profile held up perfectly through a dozen casts in that choppy water. The moderate-wind performance is no joke — it turned over cleanly when my other patterns were fluttering. Already ordered more for the next trip.

Casting into a stiff breeze on the flats, this fly still turned over cleanly on every backcast. The moderate-wind performance is exactly what I needed for those longer shots at skittish bones. Tied a few on and they held up well through a full day of stripping.
