12 Gotcha Fly Selection – Bonefish Flies & Permit Flies

A must-have assortment of one of the most productive saltwater flats patterns ever developed. Capt. Ken's Gotcha Fly Selection includes 12 proven Gotcha bonefish flies in three effective colors and two hook sizes, giving you a versatile selection for bonefish and permit fishing on the flats.

Description

The Gotcha is a legendary saltwater fly and a standard in bonefish anglers' fly boxes around the world. This proven bonefish pattern has earned its reputation on flats fisheries across the globe by consistently producing fish.

Capt. Ken's 12-fly Gotcha Selection takes the guesswork out of choosing colors and sizes. This carefully assembled assortment includes three popular colors—Pink, Olive, and Tan—with two hook sizes to cover different fishing situations.

Whether you're targeting tailing bonefish on shallow tropical flats or looking for a dependable permit fly option, the Gotcha deserves a place in your saltwater fly box.

Why We Fish It

The Gotcha is popular for good reason. Its simple, effective profile imitates the small shrimp and crustaceans that bonefish regularly feed on. Having several colors and sizes available lets you adjust your presentation to changing light, water conditions, and fish preferences.

When to Fish It

Fish the Gotcha on shallow saltwater flats where bonefish are feeding on shrimp and other small crustaceans. The different colors and sizes make this selection useful across a variety of flats conditions.

How to Fish It

Lead feeding fish with an accurate cast and allow the fly to settle near the bottom. Use short, controlled strips to imitate a fleeing shrimp or crustacean. Watch the fish's reaction and adjust your retrieve to encourage a take.

Baxter House Guide Tip

Don't assume one color or size will work every day. Start with Tan in clear, bright conditions, and experiment with Pink or Olive when light, water color, or fish preference calls for a change. Keep both sizes available so you can match the presentation to the fish.
