Where am I going to put the new flies I’m tying for Hawaii? Hmmmm…
Not a lot of room in there.

Those are not going to be your small bonefish. So don’t be afarid to go bigger. My smallest fly here on Aitutaki is a size 2 and the fish are pretty comparable. They like a meal.
These boxes are pretty much untouched from Andros… so… big flies, pretty much all tied by me. Lots of 2’s, some 1/0’s in there with a mix of 4’s and 6’s too.
Bjorn,
Leave most of your your size 4’s & 6’s at home, some will be fine for really skinny water. Size 2 & 1/0’s are the go to sizes here. What’s more important for Hawaii will be your leader/tippet. 16 & 20# is typical for all that damn coral…leave the 8 # test in the Bahamas.
Yeah… I’m bringing the meat and heavy tippet. Maybe I should take out those #6’s though. That will make some room.
