Flies from “The February Room”-Episode 4-Skinny Waters/Dave Cook’s Christmas Island bonefish fly

Intrepid DIY saltwater angler Dave Cook has invested his life exploring skinny waters and this fly is the genesis of his vast experience.

Sparse and simple, this fly is designed specifically for the tendencies of Xmas Isle bones.

“Skinny Waters” is the name of Dave Cook’s travel business and the perfect moniker from a guy that loves ankle-deep flats. “Bahamas bonefish love legs, but if you put legs on a fly in Christmas Island, the fish will generally refuse it.” This is an example of the intricate knowledge of a guy who has paid his dues! A body wrap of Krystal Flash with a little left for a tail, small bead chain eyes, and a tuft of white fur are all you need to wander these legendary flats for bonefish!
