The Meko Special is a wonderful little bonefish fly developed by Omeko Glinton. It works great on all flats species including Redfish, Sheephead and Permit. It also imitates a small shrimp & can be tied with beadchain or lead eyes depending on the depth of the water you are using it in. The Meko Special is a easy, fast, and cheap fly to tie, thus making it great for beginners and also great for guides: making the Meko a go-to pattern for many saltwater anglers. Have fun tying this one!
