A totally different look at tarpon!

_biscayne_bay_night_tarpon

For those who are in pursuit of their first tarpon on fly, or who only have a few hours to fish, there’s nothing like a Biscayne Bay Night Tarpon/Snook trip.  It’s a specialized fishery that can bring plenty of excitement!

· The fly tackle: A good 10 wt rod is best. A good saltwater reel w/a good drag system is imperative., spooled with ample backing and a weight forward floating line will be our primary go-to rod.  Leaders can be a little shorter for this game.  We’ll talk about specifics prior to your trip. 

· Fly patterns we’ll use will include LeMay’s Night Tarpon Fly and a few of my own creations.

 

These fish have plenty of energy!
