Fly fishing in saltwater has become a very popular sport in recent years. Watching the great fly fishing legends on the weekend fishing shows makes it even more desirable to get out and try fly fishing for yourself. It’s a wonderful sport for those who put the time and effort into practicing their casting. Fly fishing in saltwater puts you in a whole different ballgame when it comes to casting in wind, watching your target (which is also moving), and making a long enough cast to lead the fish and entice him with your dancing fly.No matter how long you have been fly fishing, it still makes your heart pound to see an 80lb. Tarpon cruising by as you are casting to get a good shot on him. If you do end up hooking him just strip and strike him hard, and then hold on!

Among the most popular target species in the Keys, tarpon, bonefish and permit are the big three on the flats for fly fisherman. If you need some extra practice, the bonnethead sharks and jack crevalle put on just as good of a show and fight equally as hard.

For tarpon season we suggest you book a guide well in advance. Some of them do book up to a year in advance for April, May and June tarpon fishing trips
