Fly Fishing For Tarpon In the Lower Keys

Tarpon are my favorite fish to catch.

It goes without saying that tarpon are among the most exciting fish to catch with flies. Though they can be challenging at times, using a fly rod for these migratory monsters is truly big game hunting. Success is often won through trial and error and luck is a big factor.

The first, and most important element in a successful tarpon trip is fishing where the tarpon are. It takes being in a special place like the Florida Keys to catch them. Tarpon are an ever moving, migratory fish that swarm the shallow flats of the Keys for a few months each Spring.

This video is a compilation of some great tarpon footage captured by my customers.

Palolo Worm Hatch - Florida Keys

Fly Fishing For Tarpon During the Palolo Worm Hatch



This entertaining tarpon fishing video is the best look I can produce at what it is like to fish during a worm hatch in the Keys. Throughout this video you can see many fish around the boat and certainly a number of fish being landed.

The Palolo Worm Hatch has the potential to happen a number of times during the Spring Tarpon Migration. Though anglers have to book quite far in advance fish the worm hatch, all anglers benefit from this incredible event. Tarpon seem to be willing to strike Palolo Worm Flies throughout the season.
