Umpqua Gotcha - 4 Pearl

By A Mystery Man Writer

The GOTCHA is one of the best known bonefish flies of all time. Designed somewhat by happenstance in the Bahamas. As the story goes, Jim McVay while traveling in a Bahamian taxi decided to clip some carpet fibers on the way to his room. Using the carpet to tie up some flies for the next day's fishing. After several days of catching plenty of bonefish with his new creation his guide began saying GOTCHA every time he hooked up.

Rumor has it Cowen's Bonefish Scampi was the result of experienced guides talking about flies that catch big, finicky bonefish. They wanted a fly that had a longer wing tied with a material that moved and breathed when retrieved. Cowen took this information to the vise, using rabbit for the body material and a translucent polar fiber wing to keep the fly subtle.
