![]() These next couple months will be full of a lot of bonefish caught on fly here in the Keys… I like to use 8wt rods with floating line for these guys. A bonefish will readily eat a properly presented fly and the drag screaming runs are just incredible. They are in my mind one of the more welcoming species for anglers who enjoy sight fishing in the shallows. These fish were made with fly fishingin mind. I have all of the gear you will need but if you want to bring some of your own equipment just let me know before we get out on the water! For the juveniles I will use anything from a 8wt-10wt set up and for the bigger ones I’ll use a 11wt-12wt, both with floating line. The water is warm enough for them to be up in the shallows and they do not have a problem eating some properly presented feathers. June through October are my favorite couple months to fly fish for tarpon of all sizes. We look for rolling tarpon in the morning and as the day goes on we can start to sight fish them up in the shallows next to the mangrove islands or on the edges of flats. Average size is anywhere from 15lbs to 100lbs+! Yes the big dogs are still here and chewing! Our bigger migrational tarpon should be pretty steady into August and then they will start to thin out, but that will kick off the best time of the year to catch the juvenile tarpon up on the flats using light tackle. We are using both spinning gear as well as fly fishing gear for these silver dragons. It is on fire right now and should continue to be very consistent through the summer months.
