bonefish

I’d never fished for bonefish before and found the ecosystem of the flats amazing.

I made the mental observation that the man who had named them bonefish should have had half of that name applied to his head.

When a bonefish feeds his head is down and his tail is up, and, the water being shallow, the upper fluke of his tail stands out.

Other men tried it for days without success, though it appeared bonefish were passing every tide.
