Tarpon
Revered by many fly-fisherman as the "King" of the salwater fish, Tarpon are known for their voracious appetite and explosive aerobatics. Once a Tarpon realizes it is hooked, the reaction is nothing less than spectacular. With average fish between 40 and 80 pounds and fish in excess of 100 lbs. reguarly caught, it has to be seen to be believed.
Permit
This wonderful fish is the ultimate flats challenge and many fly fishermen have been taken to school by this wary fish. To cast to, hook, and land a permit on a fly is a true angling milestone and one that most fly fishermen who have fished the salt will eventually aspire to. It is a gift that with patience, agility, modesty, and great humility, a lucky few will be rewarded with.
