Gotcha Fly Tying Tutorial

The Gotcha has been a very effective and extremely popular pattern for Bonefish for many years. Designed to imitate small shrimp and crabs, it works especially well on shallow flats where bonefish are feeding. The Gotcha is easy to cast, sinks quickly, and moves naturally with short strips. Its simple design makes it a great choice for both beginner and experienced anglers. If you’re heading to saltwater flats and want a proven fly, the Gotcha is a must-have in your box.
