This is a pattern that I've been tying for a client over the past couple years that has been fished in Mexico and Hawaii for bonefish and other saltwater sportfish species. The fly is a variation of Bob Veverka's Mantis Shrimp pattern and has been a killer with the bones. I prefer using silicone legs vs. the rubber because the rubber breaks down rather quickly and the silicone remains intact for a longer period of time.
