If you are heading to Christmas Island, the Orange Christmas Island Special will likely by your #1 fly. Year in and year out this is the fly that gets it done. It is sparsely tied, which is what South Pacific bonefish like, and features brass eyes to get it down and turn it over on the notoriously windy flats.

We carry Christmas Island Specials in #4, #6 and #8. The #4 and #6 have 5/32″ brass eyes and the #8’s have smaller 1/8″ brass eyes. The #6 is the ‘go to’ size and you will burn them up! The smaller and lighter #8’s are ideal when the tide is low, the flats are shallow and the bonefish get nervous.
