Bonefish

The flats surrounding Key Biscayne are renowned for their bonefish population, offering anglers a classic saltwater fly fishing experience. Biscayne Bay's clear, shallow waters and abundant seagrass beds provide ideal habitat for these elusive fish. Look for tailing bonefish on the flats during incoming tides, especially in the early morning or late afternoon. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times to target them, as the water temperatures are more stable. A key to success here is a stealthy approach and accurate casting with small, natural-looking flies. Consider hiring a local guide for your first trip, as they can provide invaluable insight into the tides, currents, and preferred feeding areas. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain this valuable fishery.
