To catch a permit on the fly is probably the most
challenging form of angling there is. The accomplished
angler for fly fishing for permit 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 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 or break you.
One of my favorite fish to fish for is the Key West
Permit. I have been a fishing guide for a long time here
in Key West. I made a career out of challenging myself
and my anglers hunting for permit day in and day out.
Flats Fishing Key West is what I have done most of my
adult life. I am not from somewhere else and these
waters are what I know. Lets fish for a day I am sure
you wont be disappointed..
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 like they just got started.
There is no doubt about it. Permit are finicky and
evasive.
Permit fishing Key West and the Marquesas Keys is great all months of the year except late April and early
May, this is when they head out to the reef line to
do the spawn and there are fewer fish found on the
flats. No worries though Key West Fly
fishing for Tarpon 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. Permit 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.

Fishing is supposed to be fun. If fly
fishing gets you aggravated let me know and I will share

Personally I am not into it. I like for my clients to
enjoy the day and leave the stress at the dock.
