Dorado Flies

[Purdue_Sage_guy]

I'm going to fishing for dorado in the Bahamas this June. I was wondering what some good patterns would be. Right now I have been tying big decievers and some EP flies. Just want some feed back on colors and sizes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I hope you catch at least some thing. I hardly have experience in saltwater
fly fishing mostly salt water casting\.

Sorry should have clarified dorado as being dolphin fish or mahi-mahi.

PSG,
I've never fished for Dorado in the Bahamas but have chased them for several years in Loreto Baja.
Big deceivers and clousers work pretty well. Sardine/Anchovy patterns are the ticket there.
Here is a link to my go to fly in loreto for dorado, rooster fish, reef fish I've even hooked billfish on this fly.

I got 4 on the fly last May including this 37lbdr.I got them on longer 4-10 inch streamers I tied up with lots of flash.Unfortunately they get pretty smashed up after a fish and might not be useable again.Still fun though.
