Permit caught in winds of 15-20 knots. Notice the white caps in water!
PERMIT ARE MARCHING! Now that the March winds have arrived, one of our favorite species is migrating into shallow waters. Permit (trachinotus falcatus), the “Great Pompano”, is one of the most elusive for fly anglers to catch. Known for their spooky nature in skinny water, the Permit has exceptional senses of sight and hearing tuned into its environment. The windy weather is actually favorable to fly anglers in fishing for Permit.
Most experienced Permit Fly Anglers hope for winds to approach 15 knots or more when Permit fishing. The Permit will be feed better in windy weather, as they are less able to see and hear the boat and angler.
Permit are on the flats in good sizes and good numbers, like this 19 pound beauty!
