Sardine Imitation Fly

This fly was specifically tied to imitate sardines. A main forage of predatory fish across the world, sardines are a welcomed snack for many species.  This pattern effectively targets species such as papio, barracuda, lai, and other Hawaiian 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.
