A Big Tarpon on a Puerto Rican Mud Flat

One of my main goals as a proud Puerto Rican fly guide is to show the world how much of a world-class fishery we have here on the island.

From endless juveniles to giant fish cruising the flats and lagoons, we have a very healthy fishery.

This day we set out with the goal of targeting big snook and tarpon, and as soon as this guy showed himself tailing on the mud flat looking for crabs, it was game on.

Seeing them react to big flies in these shallow waters is never short of amazing, but being able to get it all on video and, once again, show the world how cool this fishery is is the icing on the cake from what was an insane day of fishing where we went 2/3 on big tarpon on a quick morning mission!
