Tying the Christmas Island Special Fishing Fly

The Christmas Island Special is an effective bonefish fly, featuring weighted eyes to get the fly deep quickly. While it is effective on Christmas Island, try it in the Caribbean. This fly catches bonefish everywhere! Natural Fox or Craft Fur is traditionally used for the wing, but we’ve really been liking Finn Raccoon! This fly can be tied in many colors....pink, chartreuse, orange, pearl.
