Tarpon season 2015 was very interesting and as I’ve said many times to old and new clients, every day, every week, every month and every season is different than the others. I used to document every day and print out 11″ x 17″ color tide charts, tile the months together and line up the seasons, all tiled together. Yep, you could see the moon phases and tide currents all lined up and note the best fishing times alright. In all I’d say it was a good exercise, only problem was when you plugged in your best clients for the upcoming season, that great planning failed and failed miserably. Why you ask? Weather, weather and weather related weather events! So what’s the bottom line ………… Read you fly fishing reports and GO FISHING, just make sure it’s with Salty Fly Charters.
