Fly Fishing:

    Is a  distinct and ancient angling method, most renowned as a method for catching trout and salmon, but employed today for a wide variety of species including pike, bass, panfish, and carp, as well as marine species, such as redfish, snook, tarpon, bonefish and striped bass.  Is a type of fishing that involves using an artificial fly. It is different from traditional fishing methods in  that fly anglesr cast a hook that generally has bits of feather, fur, foam, yarn or other similar material attached using thread to form what is refered to as a "fly", as opposed to using worms or other bait.

 

Grand Slam or Super Grand Slam: In professional fly fishing it is to catch in one day one specimen of the most wanted species by these anglers.

 

    The area is calm, without pressure of fishing and with a nature that even today is in pure state. It is a destiny where it is not rare to make a Grand Slam and Super Grand Slam (to fish “Permit”, “Bonefish”, “Tarpon” and “Snook”) in the day

FLY TACKLE . All of the fishing can be done with light fly fishing tackle and encouraged by the guides. Anglers must bring their own gear. Fly fishermen need to have at least 1/8. Reels should be high quality and saltwater proof. Floating lines are the most practical. Use of sinking line is not necessary as the waters are shallow. Popular fly patters for tarpon, shook , barracuda, snapper and sea trout include, deceivers in various colors, cock roach, tarpon glow and poppers (sizes 2/0-4 for all patterns). Bone fish and permit fly selections should include: crazy Charlie’s (root beer, pink, gold, pear), sizes 2/8 crab patterns (mottled brown and green) sizes 4-6.
