Akule Imitation Fly

This fly was specifically tied to imitate the Hawaiian Akule bait fish, also known as the big eye scad around the world. This pattern effectively targets Hawaiian species such as papio, barracuda, lai, and other reef species, but can also be used successfully in other regions of the world.  The natural bucktail and flash of this pattern flows freely in the water and provides lifelike action, enticing even the pickiest predators to eat. 

This pattern is tied on Mustad saltwater hooks and can be fished by both regular gear fishermen and fly anglers effectively.  See the how to fish page for more information on how to use these flies.
