Andros Island Gotcha Fly

The Andros Island Gotcha is the go-to fly for targeting trophy bonefish in Andros, Bahamas—renowned for landing double-digit fish. This enhanced version of the classic Gotcha remains a must-have on flats trips. Tied tough, and delivering results—this Gotcha is a game-changer wherever bonefish roam.


Key Features

  • Robust Construction
    Tied on a Gamakatsu B10S stinger hook with a heavily dubbed, extra-thick body. Epoxy coating provides bullet‑proof durability and helps the fly sink swiftly to the strike zone.

  • Weighted for Depth
    Available with lead or bead-chain eyes—or epoxy-only for finesse approaches—plus UV resin adds weight and heft where it counts.

  • Premium Wing Materials
    Fuller Arctic Fox wings offer lifelike pulse and movement, while Krystal Flash adds subtle attraction—surpassing standard craft‑fur Gotchas.

  • Versatile Size & Color
    Typically tied in size 2 or 4, in both white and tan wing versions. Tailored for deeper flats or calm shallow water—also doubles as a permit fly.


Why It Works

  • Big, Lively, Hook-Up-Ready
    Bonefish on Andros prefer a large, lightweight, yet fast-sinking profile. This Gotcha nails the balance—and the pink-tipped head signals a meal.

  • Battle-Tested Success
    Guides at Andros Island Bonefish Club introduced this variant 15 years ago; it’s been a staple ever since.

  • Adaptable to Conditions
    Choose your weight—light for skinny water, heavy for deeper flats. Tan or white options blend with differing bottom colors.


Best Applications

  • Targeting Large Bonefish
    Engineered for Andros’s big fish—angled presentation over deeper sand and shell-flats triggers aggressive strikes.

  • Permit and Bonefish Combo
    Works equally well for permit thanks to its durable hook-up design and enticing presentation.

  • Fall & Winter Fishing
    Effective year-round on Andros, especially during peak seasons—don’t leave home without it.
