Introducing the new Fish-Skull® Milky Dream
The origins of targeting Milkfish on the fly stem back to Alphonse Island and the St. François lagoon where these techniques were first pioneered and developed. As such these techniques have continuously improved to ensure a successful catch of these big-eyed devils.
See Alphonse Fishing Co article The best flies to land Milkfish
Targeting Milkfish, also known as Chanos Chanos, is very different from most other flats species you find in the waters of the Indian Ocean. They are not predatory and therefore the fly shouldn’t be imitating anything trying to get away, but rather a stationary particle of algae or plankton. Fly choice is also dictated by the behaviour of the fish while they are feeding instead of the area in which you are fishing.
The combination of an olive, green and chartreuse bodies of the Milky Dream flies imitate the algae that the Milkies feed on and will definitely catch their big eyes. To entice them a bit more, a couple of strands of crystal UV flash can be added to resemble the copepods that live around the algae beds.
