Shrimp imitation created for fishing bonefish in the South Pacific.
This is a variation of a Gotcha fly which is specifically tied for Christmas Island Bonefish.
CI Special is usually tied in Orange but can also be tied in Pinks & silvers.
It is bright and flashy and definitely gets noticed in crystal clear waters.
We use this pattern tied on larger hooks for both snook and redfish as well.
