Bonefish (o'io)
There are two species of bonefish in Hawaii, both locally called o'io.  The
bonefish are the best flyfishing resources in Hawaii, offering excellent
chances at trouphy sized fish.  These awesome fish must be perserved,   
see page on catch and release.

Average Size: 6-8 lbs

Habitat: Flats and sandy beaches

Trevally (ulua) 
There are several species of trevally in Hawaii, locally called 'ulua'.  The ulua is 
probably Hawaii's best known gamefish. These fish can grow to very large sizes
(100+ lbs), but are mostly caught by local flyfisherman in the 1-10 lbs class.  If you
see them and can get a cast to them, chances are good.

Average Size: 1-10 lbs

Habitat: Rocky shores, deeper holes and occaionally on flats.

Bluefine Trevally (papio)
Fun action can be had with these feisty little buggers.  They will readily 
hit flies, if you can get in front of them, since they are often moving very fast.  If
conditions are right and you are in their hole, the action can be pretty
incredible.

Average Size: 1-2 lbs

Habitat: Inside breakers, along beaches and edges of flats

Goatfish (weke, moano and kumu)
These fish are everywhere and can be caught if you are trying or occasionally
when your not.  There are many species in Hawaiian waters and all will
take flies.

Average Size: 1-2 lbs

Habitat: Around coral heads and in pools

Filefish (broomtail)   
These strong fish can be seen tailing near shore and on the flats.  From
the corner of your eye they will catch a bonefisherman's attention.  They are
a bit picky on flies, but if hooked they can be fun.  At least worth practicing
the sneak-attack to tailing fish.

Average Size: 2-5 lbs

Habitat: tailing near shore or onthe flats

Trumpetfish (trumpy)
These long johns of the sea can either wake you up on a slow day or really piss
you off. Sometimes they save the day when you just don't want to be skunked,
even though they don't put up much of a fight.  One thing is for sure, you will win
the longest fish contest.

Average Size: Almost zero, just LONG!!! (24-60 inches)

Habitat: Flats, inside breakers and near pools
