Key West Tarpon Fly Fishing on the Flats

[GAs06tC]

I went down to the keys with my sage vxp 10 weight.... lets say i was a bit underclassed.... I did manage to land 5 tarpon in the 4-5 foot length margin but was nearly spooled by a 6-7 footer... i found the 10 was a blast for permit though... felt perfect
