Shop For Your Next Puerto Rico Fly Fishing Adventure
The island nation of Puerto Rico is quickly gaining a reputation as a productive permit and tarpon fishery. A combination of tidal permit flats and mangrove estuaries mean anglers can target fish throughout the day. Anglers fish both from skiffs as well as on foot while stalking tailing permit.
Having extensively traveled and fly fished the world, we are the industryās foremost authority on destination-specific equipment, gear, and flies. Over a week of fishing in Puerto Rico, anglers will primarily focus on permit and tarpon. If you are fishing for less than five days, we recommend a bare minimum of twenty-four flies or a more adequate selection of thirty six flies.
Over time, dirt, grime, and other contaminants can accumulate on your fly line, which can negatively impact your casting performance. A dirty fly line can stick to your guides and drag through the water, resulting in poor casting distance and accuracy. Regularly cleaning your fly line can help extend its lifespan. Dirt and other contaminants can cause the coating on your fly line to degrade faster, leading to cracks and other damage that can weaken the line. A clean fly line can help you detect subtle strikes and improve your overall fishing experience.
