Fall is my favorite time of year in the Florida Keys.

Fall is a great time of year to find juvenile tarpon rolling on the surface.

Early morning starts can be epic. Juvenile tarpon can be found rolling on the surface and are eager to eat a well placed surface fly or plug. 

Fished with Polly from Southern Culture On The Fly Magazine this week.

Last fall she came to to the lower keys to do an article on fly fishing for tarpon.  She got her first tapon with me last year and came back for more this week.. Fun day.   

Fall is the best for bonefish.. On the right tides and the right days, you can find bonefish, tailing and waking.. Permit fishing is also good too...

Fall is "Off Season" here in the lower Florida Keys.  No snow birds, very few tourists, vacationing families from the main land are back to school, etc.. Most destination anglers are hunting, elk, birds, etc.. The road, restaurants and bars are quiet.. The fishing and the weather continue to be HOT... Most places are offering discounts on lodging too..
