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.
