Tarpon
Tarpon flyfishing and light tackle sight fishing on the pristine backcountry and
ocean flats surrounding Key West.
|
 Commonly known to anglers as the "Silver King", the Tarpon
was probably the first fish ever declared a Game fish. And rightly so, for these are the
most interactive of fish. They perform awesome acrobatics, have screaming runs, and posses
unforgiving brute strength. They are the most popular and sought after Game fish in the
Florida keys and are truly exciting! |

The larger Tarpon are
migratory, first arriving during the late winter months and staying through the spring,
and can be found on deeper flats, channels and around bridges. The smaller resident
Tarpon, which can be caught year round, also provide for a fun time. Tarpon range in size
from 10 pounds to a tackle busting 200 pounds. The most challenging pursuit would include
10 to 12 weight fly outfits or 10 to 20 pound spinning tackle.
