Fly Fishing Remote Islands in Central America for Permit (Part 2/2)

To me, the ultimate experience in fly fishing is to discover unpressured fish in a new location. In the world of fly angling, a few overlooked destinations exist that aren’t necessarily on the map. This is Part 2 of a story about a promised land for anglers in search of unpressured black-tailed devils lurking in the shallow water flats.

[@dustinsavage93]

Great video guys. I'm gonna be in Nica in 2 days. Gonna try my luck on the west coast.

[@BluefieldsFisherman]

Man what a beautiful fish and awesome action.... here in Florida is really hard to catch them even with live bait, on the fly must be super hard to get them.....congrats great video

[@codyqualkenbush7737]

I was on vacation fishing in the lower keys last week. Caught a ton of tarpon for the first time. A permit shows up..only had a tarpon toad on the rod rigged up and a permit shows up. A big one. Took a shot at it, the fish turns to look at the fly and jets. He was feeding. If I had a crab on I think he would have ate. That shit haunts me now.

[@SKragseth]

Great series! Cheers from WA

[@jorgevial131]

[@FlyCult]

[@ryandipanni1226]

what rod did you have there at the end?

[@thomastero4662]

hot dog for breakfast?

[@FishColombia]

fished it 2 years ago. Shouldn’t have posted the tarpon part lol was secret

[@ibookje]

Maybe we should leave these remote waters alone??...

[@plugboot]

You mean the remote island with a big slab of concrete?

[@ibookje]

@@plugbootNo stop 'exploring' remote islands etc. as fishing destinations. Why do we as so called 'conservation minded fly fishermen' want to travel to remote places to fish?

[@luisfernandosantosmora1000]

Give the locals a reason to conserve. It will transform their lives for the better and we will have future generation of locals that will protect their resources with fury. A chance to cast at a tailing permit will be just the cherry on top.

[@FlyCult]

@@ibookje Fishing directly funds conservation through license sales and excise taxes. Each year, the Sport Fish Restoration Program distributes millions of dollars to state fish and wildlife resource agencies dedicated to restoration, access, and enhancement projects across the country.
Whether you like it or not, money still fuels conservation more than anything else. Those funds can go into those local communities and they can better protect the habitat while also being able to make money to support their families.
