Deneki Outdoors

Deneki Outdoors operates fly fishing lodges in Alaska, British Columbia, Bahamas, and Southern Chile. They also write a blog that covers all sorts of topics related to fly fishing.

I've found their site to be very helpful as far as helping me prepare for my trip to the Bahamas.

Fly Time

I've been busy at the vise tying for my trip in April. At first I was under the impression that I would only be seeing bonefish. But now I've learned that permit, tarpon, and barracuda are also possibilities. I'm not going to lie...it was kind of nice only having to tie for one species of fish.

Here's what I'm filling my box with...

Size 6 and 8 Gotcha and Crazy Charlie flies with bead-chain eyes and a few with lead eyes. A row of Pink Puffs will also be in my box. Colors include different combination's of pink, tan, and white. I've been told to not dress them too thick and that long legs are a good addtion to the flies.
