Flats Nation — Flats Fishing, Gear & Coastal Living

Effective on-water preparation is essential for successful Tarpon fly fishing. Ensure your fly line is thoroughly stretched and correctly stored in your line management device. Set your drag lightly and maintain a well-organized, unobstructed cockpit. Be ready to cast in the "speed cast" position, holding the fly in your non-dominant hand, with the rod in the proper casting position and the fly line secured under your trigger finger.

The team over at Hell's Bay Boatworks has shared an interesting short video from one of their Pro Staff Members Chico Fernandez as he discusses one of his favorite fly patterns The Seaducer.

This year's Tarpon season was the best I have experienced in the last several. The fish showed up in great numbers and were more willing to eat than in recent years.

Tarpon season is approaching!
