i was talking about flies. if they are usually fished near the bottom, deaddrift or stripped fast, slow, medium, and how long a strip etc.
i'd also be interested in the best presentation of clousers for bonefish,

cheers

nik,
I know guys who like clousers.........however...heavy eyes can spook shallow water fish....be careful of eye size.....perhaps lighter bead chain or even glass beads will do the trick....I use pink and peacock glass eyes (see saltwaterflies.com) ....attached to burnt mono and zap-a-gaped for delicate shallow water presentation of shrimp patterns....I havent checked but I bet someone has a similiar approch to eyes in the fly tying forum.... :-%
e-mail chris at saltwaterflies.com.....the glass eyes are a Spirit River product and I dont think has yet posted them on his web site as a for sale item....he's always happy to special order for what you need.
