Has anybody figured out how to hook a boxfish on a fly? They’re always around on bonefish flats, but I can’t get one to show any interest in anything I can cast before it.
I’ve eaten boxfish in the BVI’s where they serve it as ‘shellfish’, and it’s delicious. I’d really like to catch one, but can’t seem to do it for the life of me.
you need to tie the ‘box cutter’ fly… 
(I’d venture to say that if you can’t catch one they are uncatchable…)

Maybe they are like the mullet we have here in Fla… vegetarians.
