Borski's Bonefish Slider

A proven flats pattern originally designed for bonefish, Borski's Bonefish Slider combines a barred craft-fur and flash tail with grizzly hackle and a spun deer-hair head and collar. Lead eyes help the fly ride hook-up, while the mono weed guard makes it well suited to working shallow flats around structure. It has also become a popular redfish pattern.

Uptide Take
This is one of those flies that has earned its place in a saltwater box. Originally built for bonefish, the Slider has proven itself on redfish too, making it a useful pattern when you're working shallow flats and need a fly that rides clean and gets down.
