•• NYAC Anglers are no strangers to bonefish, that elusive highly prized quarry known as "The Ghost of the Flats." Possessing ample vision, silvery sides, and a sense of insecurity, bonefish are on the top of the game for fly fishermen.
•• Stealth fishing is a must and the angler must fly cast the fly quietly, quickly, precisely, or the bonefish will be spooked. If you get a hookup, be prepared for sizzling runs into the backing and a fight worthy of much larger fish. All this witnessed by the astounded angler. You could hear your flyline ripping through the shallows while the warm winds blow gently.
•• The bright sun, tough to spot bonefish, make this a very challenging sport!
•• Abaco Island's Delphi Club is a premium fly fishing destination with top tier accommodations, cuisine, and guides.
•• Thanks to Dave S. and Paul H. for these wonderful images!
