SimRam Bonefish Fly

The SimRam Bonefish Fly (also spelled “Sim Ram” or sometimes “Simran”) is a top‐tier saltwater flats fly designed for serious anglers targeting bonefish, permit, and redfish on shallow flats and deeper channels. Developed and hand-tied by Merrimack River Flies, it combines proven materials, flexible weighting options, and proven performance to deliver exceptional results.

Key Features & Design

• Impression and movement: The fly’s body is wrapped and finished with a rabbit-fur wing that pulsates and moves naturally in the water, making it irresistible to wary bonefish.
  

• Weight & eyes options: You can select from lead-eyes or bead-chain eyes (or go un-weighted for ultra-shallow conditions). These choices allow you to tailor the fly’s sink rate to the fishing environment—from deeper drop-offs to skinny flats.
  

• Hook sizes and build quality: Tied on Mustad 2X strong stainless saltwater hooks, the SimRam comes in hook sizes from #2 down to #8 — providing versatility whether you’re casting at larger flats fish or in moderate conditions.
  

• Target species & environments: While the fly is designed primarily for bonefish, many anglers have found it works equally well for permit and redfish – especially on flats where crustaceans (shrimp, small crabs) are part of the diet. Its profile and action work particularly well in subtle flats or deeper edges where fish may be more cautious.
  

Why it stands out
"The SimRam has quietly risen to “must-pack” status on bonefish flats around the world. One tie-shop describes it as “a classic pattern … easily risen to become one of the Top Ten flies that we take with us on every bonefish trip.”

Who Should Use It
The SimRam is ideal for:

• Anglers pursuing bonefish (and by extension permit or redfish) in flats environments where crustacean imitation patterns are productive.

• Those who want a fly with flexible sink-rate options so they can cover both shallow and deeper conditions with one pattern.

• Fly fishers who want a ready-to-go, high-quality hand-tied fly that has proven field performance.

If you’re looking for a versatile, proven flats fly that handles everything from skinny water to deeper flats, the SimRam delivers. With its subtle motion, dependable hook and multiple configurations, it has rightfully earned the status of a go-to pattern for flats anglers. Add a few to your box and you’ll be prepared for a wide range of saltwater flats scenarios.
