The Migration
Tarpon Week · 2026
I. The Annual Arrival
For a few electric weeks, the ocean-side flats fill with tarpon — then, almost as quickly, they disappear.
II. Where They Come From
From creeks, rivers, channels, and coastlines, tarpon begin moving south as water temperatures climb.
III. The Offshore Run
When conditions line up, tarpon push far offshore in one of the most mysterious chapters of their migration.
IV. The Long Return
Once the migration peaks, fish scatter back across the coastlines they came from — some traveling hundreds of miles.

Tarpon Week Podcast
with Andy & Nicky Mill, of the Mill House Podcast
“Great guides can find the fish that don’t want to be found, and great anglers can catch the fish that don’t want to be caught.”
Andy and Nicky Mill join the Flylords Podcast to talk fish houses, the early days of tarpon guiding in the Keys, and what's changed — and hasn't — about chasing silver kings on fly.
