Summer in south Florida is water spout season. These shots were taken yesterday while fishing in Charlotte Harbor with my friend Bill Heindl. We played tag with two spouts that formed within a mile of each other, actually running through the base of the smaller one before the rain drove us away. Water spouts are a common site in this part of the world, especially down in the Florida Keys. Fishing around them is rarely dangerous but the same cloud formations that produce spouts can also produce lightning. Fly fishing near an electrical storm is something to be avioded at all costs and that's what caused us to finally run from this fascinating weather phenomenon.
