Flyfishing for Tarpon

[Talltails]

I've never given much recognition or consideration to this type of fishing, but that all changed on Sunday. While I was fishing for tarpon from my kayak yesterday(and getting dragged all over the coast), I was anchored up next to a few guys in a skiff. They were spotting several fish every few minutes and casting flies at them. They had several successful hookups with a few of the fish jumping three or more times. It was really neat to watch. Another benefit for me, I can't see the fish nearly as well from my perspective in the kayak, so after giving those guys first shot with the flies, I was able to cast into the pods they had located.
The challenge of landing these big fish from the kayak is what attracts me to that type of fishing. I may have to ditch the kayak and try feeding them flies from a boat sometime.

Stand up on your kayak....setting up near some sand is the key to seeing them. I have cast to a few no hook ups though...the anticipation is exciting enough
