Laid-up tarpon are sunbathing. They are not hungry. They are not moving. They are floating near the surface in three feet of water, metabolizing last night's mullet and contemplating the infinite. Getting one of these fish to eat requires a fly that lands like a feather, moves like a suggestion, and somehow convinces a 120-pound fish to interrupt its nap. This is that fly. Sparse, quiet, and absurdly effective when nothing else works.

Classic Keys tarpon pattern. Grizzly hackle over natural deer hair. The pattern that launched a thousand tarpon trips and has been catching silver kings since before catch-and-release was fashionable.

Enrico Puglisi's EP fiber tarpon pattern. The synthetic fibers shed water, cast effortlessly, and create a translucent baitfish profile that tarpon cannot ignore.

A rabbit strip tarpon fly with incredible swimming action. The undulating fur creates a lifelike profile that triggers aggressive strikes from rolling and migrating tarpon.
