Tan Shrimp
By far the most effective fly in Grand Cayman in our experience! This fly has
caught countless bonefish, triggerfish, jacks, snapper and boxfish.
How to Tie
TAN
Shrimp
Olive Charlie
For certain spots and approaches, this lightweight, darker olive fly is the go to for
bonefish, triggerfish, jacks, snapper and boxfish.
Foam Tarpon
The density and material movement make this the most effective fly for Tarpon in
Grand Cayman in our experience!
Small Tarpon Streamer
A very simple, easy-to-tie fly effective for small canal tarpon in Grand Cayman.
Extra tip: tie a small orange hotspot so you can follow the fly in darker waters.
Silicone Mullet
The silicone mullet (or other small white baitfish imitation) is essential. You won’t use it as much as the foam tarpon however, when the tarpon and/or jacks are actively feeding on sprats or silversides you will need this in your arsenal as the fish will unlikely entertain anything that doesn’t imitate the schools of bait closely. Extra tip: Tie some flash or live glow into the belly of the fly – add some yellow for when you are fishing amongst the sprats.
