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.
