Islamorada offers
some of the biggest and most
plentiful bonefish than any other key. However, just because there are
a lot of bonefish here doesn't mean they are easy to catch. Florida
Keys bonefish are extremely spooky. The only way to capture one of
these flats rats is to use utmost stealth. With the littlest splash
you can send an entire school running for deep water.

Tarpon
are another amazing plus of the Florida Keys. Though there
are many tarpon that are residence in the keys, the hot
temperatures of the summer bring a large amount of migrating fish
into the area. Since the tarpon
are migrating, it allows anglers to sight cast to these amazing
creatures. One thing is for certain, if you haven't had a run in
with a tarpon, you have not experienced fishing to its fullest.
The best times to sight fish for tarpon are in May and early
June. Though warming temperature has a lot to do with their
migration, May and June have proven to be the best times to find these
fish moving.

brighten an uncooperative day. The scenery surrounding

everyday tasks. All of this allows for a great fly-fishing
and/or light tackle fishing experience. |
