Although there are many species of fish found in the flats, reefs and the deep seas surrounding the island of Green Turtle Cay, the bone fish and Nassau Grouper are depicted on this paddle. Unlike the Grouper the bone fish is typically caught and released.

Green Turtle Cay is world-class bonefishing destination which attracts international anglers throughout the year. The fish inhabit the inshore shallows on western shores and other parts around the island. Since the water can be less than a foot deep, fly fishermen must use very shallow-draft boats or wade into the saltwater flats to catch these elusive fish.
