Bare Bones Gotcha Fly– Tied by Dirty Loaf

Bare Bones Gotcha – Tied by Dirty Loaf

The Bare Bones Gotcha strips this legendary bonefish fly down to its essentials—lean, mean, and deadly on the flats. Hand-tied by Dirty Loaf exclusively with Finatics materials, this version packs all the right triggers without any wasted flash or fluff.

Built on a Umpqua #4 hook, it balances stealth and strength, perfect for spooky bonefish and redfish prowling shallow water. The subtle blend of Krew Ice and Voodoo Dubbing creates a translucent, lifelike body, while the Crazy Cajun Legs and custom Finatics Bead Chain Eyes add just enough movement and weight for a soft, convincing drop.

Why It Works:

• Finatics Materials Only – Crafted entirely with our exclusive dubbings, legs, and bead chain.

• Classic Gotcha Profile – Slimmed down for stealth and versatility on the flats.

• Dirty Loaf Signature Tie – Precision patterns tied by one of our elite Signature Tyers.

• Target Species – Bonefish, redfish, permit, and other shallow-water predators.

The Bare Bones Gotcha is proof that sometimes less really is more. When fish are wary and every presentation counts, this fly gets the eat without question.
