IT'S QUITE A STATEMENT TO MAKE A LIST OF THE TOP 10 TARPON FLIES, SO LET ME QUALIFY THE PARAMETERS OF THIS ROLL CALL...
This list was put together by the collective knowledge of the House of Fly crew, including members of our staff who reside in south Florida, and our guide/ambassador team who also live in that idyllic area. I just want to be clear: this isn’t just a bunch of Montana guys taking a stab at a tarpon fly list. We’ve seen that before and it’s not pretty.

Our House of Fly crew debated the merits of many patterns and we had our individual takes on the matter. This list is what we finally agreed on and should serve as a great starting point before embarking on your first bonefish trip.
This list is built with patterns that are readily available, which means they are tied commercially. They are not unique patterns, only known by a singular guide. In other words, they are not secret flies, and they are not custom patterns....
