Mud Dog Bonito Bunny

Fishing the Bonito Bunny: Cast this fly to actively feeding fish for excellent results. This is also a wonderful searching pattern for striped bass, day or night. When fishing for bonito or albies, this fly can work wonders, especially in areas of reduced tidal current, where the fish may examine the fly more closely. Cast the fly into feeding lanes, and then retreive steadily with a medium speed. If bones and albies are showing sporadically in an area without developing a definite pattern of movement, try fishing this fly blind with a high speed retrieve. At times, this kind of presentation will draw dramatic strikes from bonito and false albacore.
