  == Bonefishing combines some of the most challenging attributes of spring creek fly fishing and white tail deer hunting: skill, stealth, stalking and precision.
You don't cast blindly into the water when bonefishing, you sneak up on fish you spot from a distance. You keep a low profile and make your best cast.
You usually try to drop a fly out in front of a moving fish, let the fly sink to the bottom, and then strip it just before the roving ghost shadows get there. Bonefish are fast and strong, yet it's common not to actually feel the strike, especially when they grab the fly between line strips with your left hand.
That's where soft bodied flies (like the Doctor Fly) make a difference. Bonefish (like trout in Montana) don't spit a soft fly. They'll often swim off with a soft bodied fly, chewing on it for 10, 15 or 20 feet before letting go.
That means you won't miss the fish that take between strips. Striking by sight (striking when you see the fish take) is still the best way to hook a fish. But you don't always know. Soft bodied flies keep the fly in the fish's mouth longer. And that always helps, no matter what.
