This is the ugly face of a meter + Jack you want to see when you can’t resist to cast at it, even when you are fishing for 3 digits tarpon at Cayo Santa Maria. Good fight on a 12wt to give your backing some sun 😎.
We know our waters, from angler to angler. Travel is our way🤙🏼.

Double headers Tarpon on fly. Now additional words needed.
They are here and in numbers.

Gardens of the King - GOK 🇨🇺
Cayo Santa María, probably the best year round tarpon fishery in Cuba. They are already here!! Non stop action for the big ones until July.

ZAPATA LIVEABOARDS 🇨🇺
Recommended Tarpon size on 8WT rods.
Whether you opt for reliable Georgiana during January to August or classic Perola for November to December, fishing will be tailored for you.

PAREDÓN 🇨🇺
Pargo on the fly. Gotta love tailing snappers when you are hunting for bonefish. Amazing fly fishery with diverse species to keep you busy.

PAREDÓN 🇨🇺
Another amazing fish to catch on the flats while you’re hunting bones and perms 🇨🇺
Nice size too !! Vaquita on the fly 🤙🏼

PAREDÓN - 🇨🇺
Young blood anglers, “Triggering” at the outer flats. Can’t beat Triggers on the fly follows. Tough to feed sometimes.

ZAPATA - Red’s Saltwater Rendezvous 2024
There is nothing better than being prepared, that’s why we’ll be with Red’s Fly Shop at Canyon River Lodge this JAN 13, 2024. All Cuba related in just one place. See you there !!

Patagonia 🇨🇱- 🇦🇷
High water everywhere at north Patagonia. Banging streamers to the banks 🤙🏼.
Ready for Cuba 2024 🇨🇺 after a taste of freshwater.

FOUR PERMIT SPECIES: A 60,000-Mile, 15-Year Journey

From my very first Permit in the turquoise waters of Cuba to the picturesque shores of Oman in the Middle East, with two unforgettable trips to the land Down Under in Australia sandwiched in between. This adventure has taken me on a jaw-dropping voyage spanning over 60,000 miles and 15 remarkable years.

Countless days of meticulous preparation, incredible travel experiences, and a fair share of anxiety, all woven into the tapestry of this extraordinary journey. It's been one heck of a ride to catch them all, and I wouldn't change a thing.

A massive shoutout to the guides and operations teams who made these epic quests possible. Your expertise and passion were invaluable, and this accomplishment is as much yours as it is mine.

June exploration day. Always good to find Permit in different areas, bottoms and tides, better when you sealed the deal with a slam.
Fall season coming in 🔥

Not the best pic, but that’s what we call SABALON - BIG tarpon .

PAREDON 🇨🇺
Three level of perfection: water color, bottom and the tarpon size. Anything else 🤙🏼
We are having a nice run of tarpon, with bones, permit and triggers in the mix.

The right angle to show the size of the pool where we anchor Georgiana.

GOK - Santa María 🇨🇺
Women can play on 12wt, just strip set and hang on 🤙🏼

GOK - Gardens of the King 🇨🇺
The boys are jumping “kings” with big fish and good numbers around. Nothing rare for this time of the year 🇨🇺🤙🏼

GOK - Gardens of the King 🇨🇺
Tarpon season is ON. Reports from the boys are that big boys are showing up. This one from Luc is just a taste for one day out !!

No words needed, when you love what you do!
Join us at Zapata to kiss a few more 😎

Grey Triggerfish. What fly for them ? We caught them with a simple crazy charlie when hanging around at the bonefish and permit flats.
