They've been a little scarce this past season, but the tarpon have returned to the north side of Vieques. These aren't huge fish but they're quick to eat almost any fly tossed in front of them. We've hooked several this past week, all between ten to twenty pounds. There have been a few larger ones hanging around but they've avioded getting hooked. One thing is for sure, these fish don't get big by being stupid. The photo above is New York angler Glen Erikson with his first tarpon, caught right at sunset on an 8 weight fly rod and a #4 Clouser Minnow east of Green Beach.
