By dictionary definition, fly fishing is a distinct and ancient angling method,
most renowned as a method for catching trout and salmon, but employed
today for a wide variety of species including pike, bass, panfish, and carp,
as well as marine species, such as redfish, snook, tarpon, bonefish and
striped bass. There are many reports of fly fisherman taking quite
unintended species such as chub, bream and rudd while fishing for 'main
target' species such as trout. There is a growing population of anglers
whose aim is to catch as many different species as possible with the fly.
Fly fishing in Key West has contributed to the modern development of the
sport. In the past, anglers on fly would be found exclusively on the flats.
And today, that is still mostly true. But the limits of the sport are being
stretched, as some anglers toss flies to huge tarpon and even marlin.
Equipment has followed suit. Fly reels and rods are now being
manufactured en masse for fish weighing over 100 pounds. And fly shops
on the island offer huge streamers the size of birds. These are switched
in place of a trolled, hook less bait in front of a billfish.
