Fly Fishing For Permit
On the Flats Of Key West Florida.

To catch a permit on the fly is probably the most challenging form of angling there is. The accomplished angler for this has a tremendous double haul, nerves of steel, and eyes of a hawk. He must be able to go from "fly in hand" to 40 - 80 ft in less than 3 false casts. Great line management is a must as well as an understanding where the fly is in relation to the fish after the the cast. The hardest part of this is not the actual fight of the fish, although very thrilling, it's the presentation that will make or break you.

Ranging in sizes from 8 - 50 lbs. these fish offer all the lure of big game hunting and the challenges of the toughest Casts. The strike is very subtle and the runs are never ending. Just when you think these fish are done they take off again like they just got started. There is no doubt about it. These fish are finicky and evasive.

The best months for fly fishing for Permit are all the months of the year except late April and early May, this is when the fish head out to the reef line to do the spawn and there are fewer fish found on the flats. No worries though the tarpon fly fishing is in full swing and they will entertain  you. The rest of the year is lighter and stronger only due to celestial patterns, tides and cold fronts. These fish are little effected by heat or cold, I have caught fish in 60 degree water and in 88 degree water. If there was a best water temp I would guess it to be roughly 78-85.
