In Saltwater Fly Fishing, There Is No Equal

Perhaps the most sought-after of all saltwater gamefish, the permit is the ultimate test of an angler's abilities. They demand perfect casts and presentations, as well as sublime hook-setting and fish-fighting skills. 

For many, catching one of these incredible fish is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience — and every angler who has wrestled with a permit holds them in the absolute highest regard.

Permit Fly Fishing: Mastering the Most Difficult Gamefish in the Sea

Permit are notorious for refusals — a fish that follows your crab for thirty feet and turns away at the last moment is fly fishing's defining experience. Permit demand an accurate cast, perfect presentation angle, and a retrieve mimicking a fleeing crab; a ten-to-fifteen percent conversion rate is considered excellent. Proven flies — the Merkin, Avalon, and Bauer crab — are crab and shrimp imitations, and strip-strikes are mandatory.

Front Range Anglers' premier permit destinations include Belize — the undisputed world capital for permit on the fly — Mexico's Ascension Bay flats (home to some of the largest permit anywhere), Honduras's under-pressured Guanaja flats, and the Florida Keys for the grand slam experience.
