In the middle of a boiling bluefish blitz off the coast of Nantucket...Casting to bonito ripping up bait in an inlet...Searching for seatrout and reds amidst the windswept beaches of the Outer Banks...To snook and tarpon lying near the tangled mangroves...In the glare and the pristine beauty of the bonefish flats...In the bluewater eddies of the Gulf Stream...In these magical places, and many others, the saltwater fly rodder plys his trade. In his hand, the coiled line, stripping, stripping, ready for the strike. At the end of the line, a fly; a feathered hook to tempt the most awesome denizens of the brine. Here at SaltwaterFlies.Com we hope to bring you some of saltwater fly fishing's finest moments, to help you fully enjoy your time both on and off the water. In our pages we hope to bring you features, articles, and information about this most intriguing of outdoor sports. Saltwater fly fishermen experience the most profound enjoyment of their sport, and this is the place to share your experiences, to find flies for your next trip, and to get advice and information from others who share your interests. |
Saltwaterflies.com would like to welcome professional fly tier David Decker to our pages - we are currently in the process of adding some very fine fly designs tied by David - the first one we've added is the Super Sardine - an excellent pattern for tarpon, barracuda, tuna, dorado, jacks, and so many more
bruiser saltwater gamefish. We'll be adding some really nice flatwing streamers and toad style tarpon flies in the near future, so look for these to appear soon!.
This photo of a giant bonefish at an undisclosed location in the South Pacific was sent to us by an angler who wished to remain anonymous, but asked us to describe him as "another dedicated and satisfied Saltwaterflies.com customer". Damn that's a fine fish! And, we might add, a very fine angler as well.

News Flash! 
The famous Eagle Claw 413 Jig Hook is now back in stock at Saltwaterflies.com in the full range of sizes from #2 to #3/0. See our fly tying materials Catalog to order. The slim-profile "Bonefish Box" by Anglers Image shown below is probably the best box we have ever seen for carrying standard bonefish patterns - modern "slit foam" design holds flies securely and is easy to insert the flies in. This box will hold approximately 24 standard sized bonefish flies, but still fits easily in a shirt pocket - something that many boxes are advertised to do, but few achieve. The lid of this box is clear, which allows the angler to view the contents of the box before opening it - a real advantage while wading the flats or preparing to tie on a new fly from the deck of a bouncing boat. Dimensions are 5 3/4" x 3 5/8" x 7/8" (14.5 cm x 9 cm x 2.2 cm). Click photo shown below to view the box empty.
