Fly Fishing for permit is probably the most
challenging form of fly fishing that there is. The accomplished
angler needs to have 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 permit after the the cast. The hardest part of this is not the
actual fight of the Permit, although very thrilling, it's
the presentation of the cast that will make you or break you.
One of my favorite fish to fish for is the Key West
Permit. I made a career out of challenging myself
and my anglers hunting for permit day in and day out.
Permit near Key West range in sizes from 8 - 50 lbs.
offering 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 a permit is
done they take off again.
There is no doubt about it. Permit are finicky and
evasive.
