Bonefish Simon

Travel into the spectacular saltwater flats around Nassau and Paradise Island with the premier bonefish guide in the Caribbean, "Bonefish Simon" Bain. This world-renowned angler has been named the official ambassador for bonefish angling in the Bahamas.

"New to fly-fishing? No problem. Simon is a patient and accommodating fly-casting instructor, who will have you teasing that trophy fish to the surface after only a few quick lessons. Bonefish Simon is famous in the United States for his fly-casting exhibitions at numerous trade shows. You can learn Simon's sure-fire casting style, his signature two-handed PWP (pull, wait, push) method. Once you discover the graceful artistry of fly casting, you will be hooked on this technique for the remainder of your life.

There's no better backdrop to be introduced to the fun of fly fishing than the tropical setting of the Bahamas. Simon will transport you to prime remote locales in his spanking new 17-foot Action Craft equipped with a 115 hp Mercury outboard. This smooth-running craft will reach remote areas in a flash. Simon will then utilize the poling platform to maneuver his craft into the shallows to bring those trophy-sized fish into range. Simon's intimate knowledge of the back-country waters and secluded Cays will pay major dividends on your expedition.

Discover bonefish running in droves through a backwater bay. In addition to bonefish, you may run across schools of Tarpon swimming along a pristine estuary, a toothy Barracuda stalking in the structure of a mangrove root, or any number of Jacks, Grouper, Permits, Snappers and even sharks ready to take the lure.
