Fly-fishing For Tarpon in
Key West
With Capt. Steven Lamp
Dream Catcher Charters
Tarpon Season starts in March
and goes through July traditionally here in Key West Florida. The best times
to fly fish for tarpon is May and June. This is when the weather settles
down and the new wave of Migratory tarpon move through the Key West area and
the
Marquesas.
I
offer 4 and 6 hour trips that focus on these fish for the fly fisherman.
Morning or late afternoon are the best times to
book a
fly fishing charter
with me for
this event. Space is limited so call well in advance for reservations.
On any given day one can see over 500 fish with a possibility of a good shot at over half of them.
These fish all being fresh in from the migratory routes they are ready to
EAT!
Cast to these monsters while we sight fish the flats, we
will ease
along in my state of the art fly fishing flats boat as I pole you silently
to the fish. I also have a boat with the uses twin trolling
motors to show you more fish and
give you better shots. Once you have hooked up I guarantee that you will
have a grin from ear to ear as the fish leaps out of the water trying to
spit the fly. Check out my
jumping tarpon
photos to see what I am talking about.
Hooking one of these mighty fish on
the fly is probably the most exhilarating thing an angler can do. Learn how
to
strip strike your fish and
use the double haul to make your tarpon fly fishing experience a more
memorable one. These tools will aide you in presentation and hook up. |
