Tailing Bonefish on the flats, a wary Permit dipping to inspect your fly, the take, fight and flight of a massive Tarpon. Solving the tides, fighting the wind, poling the flats all for a high-pressure shot with it all on the line. Doing it the right way. To many this is the pinnacle of fly fishing—a passion that was born and raised in The Keys, driven by salty guides and saltier anglers who now make their own annual migrations back to the birthplace or to remote island lodges. From legendary tournaments to guided weeks blocked out a year in advance, it’s a high stakes game, some say a gentleman’s game, that quickly becomes the only one you’ll want to play.
BONEFISH RODS
In the light that still remains of the day, one tail glints in the evening glow, one unmistakable body quaking across the flat with methodical rhythm. The valves of your heart are working double time as the bonefish tips down. The bonefish feeds like it knows it is being watched, relishing in the spotlight - turning its tail in delight with every bite. You want, more than anything, to just watch - but your line is stripped out, ready to go. So are you. Fluttering a cast within a tail kick from the wakes, the bonefish changes direction toward your fly.
