Tarpon Flies

Monthly Special. Below is a collection of tarpon flies tied in a variety of popular colors. As a rule-of-thumb, bright colors are used in clear waters while darker patterns are used in darker waters. You could certainly find the fish preferring a dark fly in clear conditions or wanting a brighter fly in darker waters. So it's best to carry a variety.

At Sandy Moret’s Florida Keys Outfitters. Our premium collection offers quality flies constructed to withstand extreme elements and to produce in all fishing conditions. The number of saltwater tarpon flies available these days never fails to boggle my mind! That fly tiers can put some hair or feathers or lead and polymers on a hook with thread to create lifelike patterns that trigger a strike impulse from a gamefish is a tremendous part of the charm of fly fishing to me.

There are a wide variety of tarpon flies available out there from you to choose from. The classic Keys style tarpon fly has stood the test of time. The Stu Apte, Apte II, black death and cockroach flies are all good producers. Bunny flies have proven their worth. I also like flies that are made of subdued colors. Light tans and pale yellows with white. The lists are endless. I prefer my flies on 02 and 03 size hooks. The hooks for tarpon must be razor sharp and not to thin. The Mustad 3407SS is good sturdy hook with heavy metal that can take a good filing. All hooks must be sharpened prior to use. Care must be taken not to make the hook point too thin or it will bend when trying to penetrate the hard mouth of a tarpon.

Whistler Tarpon Flies, fly fishing, free shipping, products, flies, fly rods, fly reels, free information, are nearly like steelhead in that they move freely between fresh and salt water. Tarpon can migrate many miles. The trick is getting them to find your fly in the muddy water. Dan Blanton has fished this area a lot. He reasoned that if tarpon couldn't see the fly, maybe they could hear it. He fastened large, hollow bead-chain eyes to a bulky fly. It was an instant success. The holes in the bead chain act the same as air blown across an open pop bottle. They whistle. That is what he called it, the Whistler. Whistlers are productive anywhere tarpon hold in deep or muddy water. We have modified the Whistler series below for the waters of southern Belize such as the Monkey River in flood which can be nearly thick enough to plow. These flies are tied with extra large eyes, and are heavily dressed to buck a lot of water. Fluorescent feathers and hair are combined with liberal amounts of holographic flashabou for maximum visibility.
