Week In Review

Beautiful weather. That was the key for the week.  We had some groups from Orvis in this week, which is always a great time. We saw a lot of good Tarpon, jumped a bunch of them, and landed a few. Permit were plentiful at times but, as always, finicky and spooky. Some nice ones were landed, so a good permit week. Jimmy caught a huge mutton snapper on the fly and shared it with everyone when the kitchen cooked it up for bar snacks. Stephen got a grand slam with some lovely fish. And, of course, good times were had by all.
