South Andros Island Gotcha Bonefish Fly

Andros Island Gotcha Fly

The Andros Island Gotcha Fly is a legendary bonefish pattern trusted by anglers across the flats of the South Andros and beyond. Originating from Andros Island, this fly was designed to imitate small shrimp and crustaceans—one of the primary food sources of those large bonefish in shallow saltwater environments.

Tied with durable materials and weighted eyes, the Andros Gotcha lands softly and rides hook-point up, helping to prevent snagging while maintaining a natural bottom-hugging appearance. Its subtle flash and realistic profile make it extremely effective in clear water, pressured flats, and low-light conditions. When stripped slowly along the bottom, the fly produces a convincing fleeing-shrimp action that triggers aggressive strikes.

Perfect for both beginner and experienced saltwater fly anglers, the Andros Gotcha performs best on tropical flats, sandy bottoms, and turtle grass areas. Whether you’re fishing Andros, the Florida Keys, the Yucatán, or any Caribbean flat, this fly belongs in every bonefish box.

Each Andros Gotcha from Merrimack River Flies is hand-tied in the USA, ensuring consistency, durability, and fish-catching quality in every fly.
