Permit is the name and Permit is the game. 

​

Unfished waters teaming with schools of Bonefish, the finest Atlantic Ocean fly fishing for Triggerfish I have seen, and, yes, tailing Permit!

​

A true off-grid adventure on an east coast time zone. It does not get better than that! After a few learning experiences, the logistics are smooth (privado! privado!) and I can't wait to get back to these chaotic waters. 

​

One day in fall 2025, I could not find the fish for a good few hours and then I found hundreds of them. Permit, Bonefish and Jacks were circling the white sand trough behind the turtle grass flats. If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I never would have believed it possible. It may be the only time I have cursed 8lb bonefish stealing the fly. Sure, I have had bones steal the fly from Permit in the Yucatan, but never ones this large!

Fishing

Tailing Permit, tailing Triggers and big Bonefish

I have been on the hunt for a fishery like this! 

​

These flats have it all: heavy surfbreak with tailing triggers and parrotfish leading into back reef rubble flats which give way to turtle grass flats and then white sand flats surrounding the interior islands. 

​

My best Permit shots have come in the middle turtle grass flats. (pictured to the right)

Accommodations

Glamping at its finest - a small island with well maintained grass, covered picnic benches and running well water shower and flush toilet!

​

Anglers can choose to sleep under a roof in a simple bed in small room, in a hammock in a larger covered area or bring their own sleeping pad and tent and set up camp on the short grass (thats my favorite way!)

 Tackle & Technique 

Tackle & Technique

Slow action 8wts & 9wts are the needed tools

My go to set up is Hardy ZanePro 9wt with a slightly overweighted floating line. Fluoro tapered leaders (20lb) with 3' of 16lb fluoro tippet added. 

​

Flies: Olive strong arm Merkins in various sizes and weight are my favorite fly for these flats
