Tarpon

Tarpon are the ultimate prize in saltwater fly fishing — the Silver King. Few experiences compare to watching a 100-pound fish cartwheel across the surface with your fly in its mouth, and few fights will test your tackle, your knots, and your nerves the way a big tarpon will. From the legendary spring migration in the Florida Keys to the backcountry canals of the Everglades, the jungle rivers of Costa Rica, and the mangrove flats of Belize and the Yucatán, tarpon are found in some of the most extraordinary fisheries on the planet. This collection covers the baitfish patterns, streamers, and topwater flies built for tarpon of all sizes — from baby tarpon in the mangroves to the giants of the open flats.
