We had to get a Drew Chicone pattern on the list. Chicone is one of the most innovative, contemporary saltwater fly-tyers in the world, and his use of natural materials makes his patterns lifelike. The Cocaine was inspired by his time in Arizona where he realized the value of coyote fur for saltwater flies. This series of flies is sometimes referred to as the “K9 of the Flats”, which include famous patterns such as the Coyote Shrimp, the Coyote Ugly, the Calypso Coyote and others. The Cocaine part of the name came from his buddy, captain Will Flack, a well-known Belizean permit guide who created a pattern called the Cocaine Crustacean. The Crustacean solved some problems Flack was having on large, Belizean bonefish that were located on limestone flats and couldn’t be fooled by traditional bonefish patterns. We like the large profile and movement the coyote material provides in this fly and that’s why we included it in our list.
