Most of them have numerous tying videos on YouTube - enough to keep you occupied through the winter. I selected the specific (pictured) flies below for not only their effectiveness, but they also are all widely known and available to purchase and/or easy to tie.
To read my recent trip report from Turneffe Flats click HERE To join us and get details on our upcoming hosted trip to Turneffe Atoll, Belize April 22-29th click HERE Also having two rods rigged and out of the rod holder for different scenarios/species was a huge help too (I'll save that for another article). For instance, I found that flies like the EP Turneffe Shrimp or small Bonefish Bitters did the best on the shallow flats and the heavy and/or bigger flies, like the Merkin or Rag Head did the best in the lagoons or deeper sections of sandy and turtle grass flats. So to have not only good patterns, but various weights to get you in the strike zone, is imperative. You could find yourself wading a very shallow coral flat of about 2 feet and then casting to fish in 6-8 feet of water in a soft-bottomed area later that afternoon. What makes this an even more important variable at Turneffe is the diversity of flats and fishing situations.
(This usually came up in conversation after another refusal by a permit, asking: "what the heck should I tie on now?!")Īlong with specific patterns, a key factor in fly selection is weight. I recently spoke with my guide Dion about the best producing flies for Turneffe. A fellow angler's Sage rod rigged with a homemade crab pattern.
