Tarpon Fly Weekend

i, like everyone else in the area, have "tarpon fever" and even though i don't have any realistic expectations in regards to actually catching one, i've recently been fascinated by the Location X movie. i'm a bit outgunned as it were because i only have an 8 weight...and one needs an 11 or 12 weight to battle a silver king and stand a chance of winning.

So, i started tying up some tarpon flies....both Keys Style and Location X Floaty Fly. Both tested well in the pool.

Looks like my tarpon buddies are going to have some nice flies in a few days.
