Super fly in tan

Tarpon at 12. Storm at 12 too....
What good is paradise if you are just a passive viewer?
That’s why we scour the flats. In hopes of connecting with a creature 100’s of millions of years old, that if all goes right, we can convince to eat a fly. The Florida keys are just starting to warm up. The tarpon in windy Spring often hover in deeper channels or ocean drop-offs.
If they appear out of the deep, cast a body length ahead. Give it a twitch and see if he heads towards it. If not, give it another. Pull it in front of that powerful silver face if you have to. He’s looking up. Hope he kicks towards you. Set it with your left hand. Let the hook find a seat and then let it pass through loosened fingers onto your reel as he explodes and makes you wonder if you have any chance…..By the way, you don’t. He just threw the hook! :-) Back for more! How do we explain this great addiction to club-bound folks. Yes, it really is like all your best nights out - all at once - just way better. If you can, let em see it in person….It’s quite a privilege.
Good Luck out there. You know something a lot of folks don’t. The seductive powers of the Silver King. The odds are on his side, but that’s what makes it so powerful. Bow to Bastardo numero uno. Ha!
In our first installment of tarpon music here’s a little song for the flats. Depending on the day you had, it will mean different things…But it is passionate. We first heard this song at banff….good stuff.
