What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're out on the boat, the Puerto Rican coastline painting a stunning backdrop as you scan the water for rolling tarpon. Our seasoned guides know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're all about getting you on the fish. We'll hit up the best spots, whether that's in the lagoons or along the coastal flats. And hey, it's not just about the fishing – the views alone are worth the trip.

Fly Fishing 101

Now, let's talk technique. If you're new to fly fishing, don't sweat it. We'll break it down for you, covering everything from the basic cast to how to present your fly to these hard-fighting fish. For you experienced anglers, we can get into the nitty-gritty of specific flies and advanced techniques that work best for Puerto Rican tarpon. We use 9-weight rods typically, paired with floating lines for the shallows and intermediate lines when we need to get a bit deeper. And trust me, when that tarpon hits and goes airborne, you'll be glad you've got quality gear in your hands.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Tarpon, baby – that's what we're after. These silver-sided bruisers are the stars of the show in Puerto Rico's waters. They can grow upwards of 100 pounds, though most of the ones we target are in the 20-60 pound range. Still plenty big to give you the fight of your life! Tarpon are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. They'll leap clear out of the water, shaking their heads trying to throw that hook. It's a sight that'll get your heart racing every single time. The best part? We can target these guys year-round here, though spring and early summer tend to be prime time when the bigger schools roll through.

But it's not just about size with tarpon. These fish have been around since prehistoric times, earning them the nickname "living fossils." They're incredibly strong, with a mouth as hard as concrete, making them a real challenge to hook and land. When you're out there, casting to rolling tarpon or sight fishing in the shallows, you're participating in a fishing tradition that goes back generations. And let me tell you, the satisfaction of landing one of these silver kings on a fly is hard to beat.
